Notes About The Poem

See the source image

Consequences

Chest pain grips as anxiety fills the room 
Or cornered I grasp a resting broom
Neck pain lingers and feelings of doom 
Sadness at times fills the house with gloom 

Exercising left long ago, enter old age woes
Quadragenarian no more~ whoa!!
Upset stomach, feeling overwhelmed
Energetic no more at forced helmed
  
No motivation, they've cooked my goose
Change in every part of my body, thoughts abstruse
Emotions ready to explode, anger and irritability 
Social withdrawal on downhill side of durability

When a person goes their own way, the choices they make will always have consequences which can sometimes lead to stress with the end results of the above problems.

There are so many diverse consequences no matter what direction we turn; this is an appropriate reminder.

you sure got that right, Sara. Sadly, my problems were brought on by my oncologist's "modern medicine" given needlessly to me AFTER cancer.
