The Illness You spend exponentially All services of every cell in your body For years To keep an ill one alive Possible prolonged moments of happiness and hope trickle in Between the hospitalizations Your spending is what you find out He doesn’t trust. What one finds out Is ones unprepared-ness My son wants to claim his life For himself, to which could be his end or not. Like the breaking egg, beak first Or sunlight cracking through trees Where light comes out and gives birth With uneven decisions Will I live? And what IS living with a chronic diease like? What he believes is not that he doesn’t trust you, He just wants to trust himself. What other choice in the insanity defense is there That would be as human, then giving freedom of choice to him.
