I have cracked elbows and tattered toes
my mind is warped and frayed
my doctor says I overdose
I laugh but should have prayed
My daughter says “No midnight snack!”
The wine I drink is swill
I’m waiting for a heart attack
I’m sure I have no will

Funny and sad at the same time
Exactly my thoughts too – funny but sad. Am trying to imagine more descriptive words than ‘funny’ and ‘sad’, but those are exactly the right words. Straight down the line, like the poem, which is also underscored with bravery.
