Mind Lying Awake Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Crestfallen and blue, looking toward the end of life, having
done so much through the years, now looking around, wonder-
ing what has happened.

Unable to go places without a walker and braces, feeling des-
pondent and wanting life to end at times, then thinking about
loved ones.

Knowing these feelings are only lies taunting within, mind
lying awake into the night, not sleeping because of the world
around, although being reminded of all things done in the past.
