Notes About The Poem

My widow grandmother has less than 2 months left to live. Her colon cancer is spreading. 

I Know I'm Depressed

When all I want to do is cry?
Even while immersed in this high.
When all I want is to die
With little to no reasons as to why.

When all I want is to lie,
Say "I'm okay," so they won't pry.
When all I want to do is sigh
As I am aware her end is near nigh.

When all I want is to fly,
But there is no way I can ever try.
When all I want is to pry
The lock open, even as things go awry.

When all I want is to just cry
For as long as before she will die.
When all I want is to retry
My life, to resolve issues as to why:
