[hometext] => Wrote this with my nan in mind, tried to put myself in her shoes for the poem.
[bodytext] => I once was young and full of life, But now pain and arthritis is rife, My eyesight is deteriorating and my heart is weak, I feel useless sat here an old and useless freak. Inside I feel like a young girl, I want to be out there and see the world, But my body has long trapped me inside, There are many a night I have cried. All I can do is sit and watch the tv, It has been so long since I have felt free, Stuck in my flat day in and day out, When all that I wish for is to get out and about. I never imagined myself getting old, But now that I am, it has hit me ten fold, As I sit there and watch time go by, Watch the daytime turn into the night sky. I’m scared to die but I don’t want to live, What have I got left that I could possibly give? I really wish I could turn back the clock, I know at my age I should be treasuring the last bit of time I’ve got. I wonder when my time will come to an end, Wonder when god won’t have anymore time to lend, But all I can do is sit and wait, As I know for sure that to die is my fate.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
