For every action there is a co$t associated with it for each minute‐ of energy that gets expended– you must give up- FOUR— ONE for the task its self and THREE additional– for the decompression your body requires after you complete it. however that is not the most frustrating part to deal with four minutes– -is nothing to give up- in the grand scheme of things It's when you combine- the minute to an hour that something will take to complete now you have spent four hours– to just one thing on the to-do list Even, if you choose_ to do the one hour task you will have to break / that hour up with rest breaks that you'll need now you have disbursed- —eight waking hours for a one hour item on your list but that's not all the, EXTREME fatigue adds to the issue of time- and with just two hours- of work and rest breaks You'll need a nap- -that will last two hours, after eight hours— already invested to accomplish this one thing you will need two naps– just to complete it Now there is twelve hours— on the one thing you needed to do today… I'm exhausted- -its time for bed I'll HAVE to do this ALL OVER AGAIN TOMORROW

We are doing well, we are not afraid of death -- only of decay.

And so should the strongest Make love to the link worn delicate? In that communion, As one to another companion, We seal the cracks & breaks That have started to leak. We bind what made us weak. We champion truth And honor accuracy; Don your hood, But don't go robbing. Love passionately, but love gently. Do so with forthright honesty, Do not play at it or fake it Lest you forsake it. From what seems as less than We shall reveal the hidden, As a marvelous miracle unwinding. It's all perspective, For though I think them no greater They are more than certainly my equals. I would live for them as I would die for them, One & all.

Father, now waddling from left to right, seems to walk -- on spherical feet.

[ The doctor wavers ]
It was a late midnight and the radium stars on the ceiling wall were shining bright. The wheather was pleasant, the aura was warm. I was sleeping with Noddy, in my arms. Then A sudden heaviness in my head broke my sleep The pain was growing so steep That I couldn't get up. I tried to drub but Some thing was pulling me in my bed. I could feel something leak out of my nose. It was blood , spurting out flinging the coze. Severe nosebleeds, was a common symptom of my disease. But this one was differing, My nose was blistering. I knew it cause I've had many before But this time my throat became sore And soon i lost all control over my nose, All I could do was doze. My mind, I tried to divert, So I looked for Noddy, his cap was as red as his shirt. Then I tried to call for aid But by now not just my head also my arms and legs heftly weighed. The pain was only growing more, worse, than ever before. It was as if the red water was flooding, Unstoppably my nose was bleeding Then with a sudden strangeness, something leashed my lungs Now I was breathless. I don't wanna a die, I wanna play with my dolls, I spoke to the dream catcher , That hung on the wall. I was ailing and weak my vission was turning bleak. Soon i was left with none. All I feared, was oblivion.

Oblivion
Failed Pills I took pills all my **** life to cure this and that None of them ever ******* work So I write about my ailments instead The way only I can words on the page Putting my ills into them to free me Who am I blooody kidding eh? Myself to give me some backbone And MAN IT UP NICK! But that doesn't change how I feel Nor take way the illnesses that rest inside Waiting to get me like a manman with a saw I'd love to meet such a crazy At least he could chop me up Thus reducing my ailments by number Till then I suffer the world of this My reality not in pain but something else The thing called life enduring sensation A word to replace pain multiple blows I feel them all and till I finally rest...
