Tangled Thinking Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life taking turns, heading into a darkness right now
caused by breast cancer, having excruciating pain for
some reason, other women don't always have it.

Not knowing why this is, just trying to live through
it without any after-effects, radiation now going to
be given twice a day for five days.

Mind trying to grasp it, but being something that's
never been experienced before, has made it difficult
to adapt to.

Thinking tangled up, yet wanting to be straightened
out immediately, once mind and intellect can figure
it out, life will be less complicated.
