Coming Undone [2011]

I stare into space

      brain sluggish

      slow to respond

So many plans for today

      to be responsible

      accomplish things

But now they are lost

      saved for another day

      maybe never

Is it my fault?

      I feel irresponsible

      selfish or lazy

How hard should I try?

      give in to sickness?

      or make no excuses?

Everyone must do things

      even when it's hard

      so I should too

But I would do better

      if I could

      I know I would

My body won't obey me

      busy fighting disease

      no energy left

My brain won't help either

      thoughts don't flow

      the way they did

I don't know from day to day

      what I can do

      what I want to do

Friends gather around

      they whisper

      we love you

We know who you are-

      sick or well

      we can see you

Shining with His light

      you love and you bless

      and inspire us

Keep hanging on-

      He's promised

      it won't be long
