~Heart Disease!~

The fact that I HAVE ONE: A HEART! The struggle is real in finding ways to protect it, to keep the heart from further injury, from being run over, all the while using it to find all the good reasons to live!

~ Heart Disease!~

I guess we can’t avoid

Our inevitable fates

On the timing

Of our regular futures

And World history

On the one’s whose lives

Have been saved.

As we try not to betray the history;

Of what our hearts were like

In knowing how selfish our lives have been,

Divorcing each other's stories…

As I fight to decide

What to do from here

Witnessing my living funeral,

It’s a HEART DISEASE

One hard to fight

Holding back the mood swings

Trying to keep alive!

written by,

Jennifer Cooley!

About the Creator

Jennifer Cooley

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
