Bedsores

Jul 18, 2023
On flesh once soft and supple,
Now riddled with sores and pain,
The body lies still and helpless,
Its once vibrant spirit waning.

The bed, once a place of comfort,
Now a prison of unyielding pain,
The weight of immobility
Takes its toll with each passing day.

Bedsores, like angry red badges,
Announce the body's slow decline,
A cruel reminder of its fragility,
And the ravages of time.

Oh, how we take for granted
The simple freedom to move,
Until it's too late to escape
The slow death of immobility's groove.

So let us cherish our bodies,
And the mobility they allow,
For bedsores are a reminder
That the freedom to move is sacred now.

  1. A lot of the things you articulate happens to be astonishingly precise and it makes me ponder why I had not looked at this with this light before. This particular piece truly did turn the light on for me as far as this issue goes. Nevertheless at this time there is 1 point I am not necessarily too comfy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the core idea of the point, allow me observe exactly what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Very well done.
