A Quest For Two Words

A Quest For Two Words

In this life we’ve embarked on a quest;

I'm Supposed To Hurt

I’m Supposed To Hurt

I was getting ready to share my feelings;
and had just returned home from work;
wracked with pain; my body was reeling;
I’ve lived 78 years; I’m supposed to hurt.

I’ve lived several lifetimes; rolled into one;

A Late Life Crush
