It’s time to face the facts
My heart is literally breaking
Anxiety, heart murmur increasing
Steadily as I keep it guessing

I shouldn’t be so cruel
But I continue to play games
Testing the limits
Taking diet pills
Drinking too much coffee
Eating too much salt

I need to live a long and healthy life
I have to for my girls
For myself
For my family

Today was another of largely ignoring
My healthy advocate
I cannot allow it to continue
I need to heed its promptings

To move
To listen
To obey

It’s a matter of never-ending vicious cycles and a slow death

I cannot allow this prophecy to come true
I have to break away from the fates
No matter the cost
