Karma

There is no movie
Or book
As scary as
Real life.

This is one horrifying disease.

My mother survived it;
My father did not.
My sister is the third person
In my original family
Of five
To have to go through this.

These are not good odds.

What I find the most frightening
--and the most inevitable--
Is the thought that
This is my destiny,
This is my future.
Nobody knows for sure,
Of course,
But, like it says above:

These are not good odds.

There is no movie
Or book
As scary as
Real life.
