It All Comes Down to This

Whether or not I live or die

Now all depends on if I try

A regimen of medications

Or death from many complications

Most days I would rather try

Something else before I die

Maybe a different situation

To fix my heart palpitations

Or a treatment by another name

Will fix the problems with my brain

I wonder will the circulation clot

Take my leg before it rots

Hopefully plaintive wails and cries

Will restore the vision to my eyes

I will ask the doctor if he can tell

When my nose will be able to smell

Now is the time to take a stand

And restore the feeling in my hand

If I hurry and do not linger

It will cure my infected finger

Is the least of my many woes

The fungus eating at my toes

Should I bother with the wreck

That has caused this pain in my neck
