My Life Lays Empty Poem by Andy Caldwell

my life lays empty
there is no past
nor is there a future
there is just the here and now
the space between TV shows
Parkinson's limits me
it binds bounds and envelopes me
over time it is defining
there is no growth for me
no changes I can see
The electronics implanted inside of me
inhibit my dreams
I lay in terror in these doldrums
and want to pilgrim
to grow and find my religion
to live for a reason
then to see my life change
