A day

Just another day, just another pill from the VA, just another date, time is fleeting, body is crumbling. Stay strong the voice says, stay strong, they need you now. I need them too but I'm tired... Some days I pass the airport and think of times gone past and wonder if I'll fly those blue skies again, some days I just want to fly away. Sometimes I can relate to why an old family dog, tattered and torn disappears into the woods to lay down by an old oak tree to rest and become part of the earth. Well, notice came in so perhaps I'll get some rest but I'm afraid if I rest I won't be able to move anymore. An appointment is coming up and once again I'm scared to go, it's supposed to be outpatient but I've heard that one before...time will tell...
