Sam Adams Felt Run Down

Sam Adams felt old
Like a truck had run him over
Waiting for the end
Of his time on earth.

So much pain
So many scars
So many injuries.

Having cheated death
22 times
14 operations
Saved his leg.

But the scars
Remain
And he felt them

Every day he felt
That his end
Was coming soon
Sooner than he wanted.

He got up
Painfully
walked to his bed.

Laying down
Just for a moment
Waiting for the pain
To die down.

Waiting for the end
To come.
