Spider veins and wrinkles
On going aches and pains
Everything is changing
Nothing stays the same.
I came in here for something
I walked right through that door
What was it that I wanted?
What did I come here for?
The name of that new movie
With the girl …. you know her name
The one who once was married
To the guy from Hunger Games.
Can’t remember, did I take that pill?
Did I take one or maybe two?
What’s going to happen if I did?
Oh no, what should I do?
Should I call the doctor?
Or maybe 911?
Should I drink more water
Yikes, the rumblings begun.
Always in the bathroom
If not one, then number two
At least, I’m not in diapers yet
But that could happen, too!
My bladder and my kidneys
Are not so kind to me
I constantly feel pressure
Feels like I have to pee.
They say I’m hard of hearing
I try to nod a lot
Guess repeating is annoying
They get pissed, when I say… What?
What about this back pain?
It never goes away
I’m dealing with Sciatica
Almost every single day.
My gait , that of a turtle
My pace , like an old snail
My legs and joints are giving out
Old age ….. a living hell!

Thanks so much!
I have been a care giver for several elderly friends and relatives. It’s not easy getting old! I tried to make light of the journey in my poem. Hope I didn’t offend anyone.
