My assets for now

My assets for now

A Poem by Jacob

It is a time to evaluate,

to look at the mirror and see

what I have

not with a judging eye

but with a heartish sight

it started before the obvious crisis

it looked like I have a lot

but I noticed, I was

starting to shrink

I knew that

 

I have ten percents

of my legs

and about five

from my lower belly

I miss its full warmth

ten percents of my lungs

and their lightness

and five of my hands,

my liver is there for sure

but I own now only

a small part

god, how I miss

the strength of it

 

I own half of my sight

and I hear about the same

only parts of my spinal column

and all the support it gave

I got left with one hundred

and fifty percents of thoughts

what do they worth today?

mostly not much,

many memories that are

waiting to be enjoyed

and four percents of the heart

oh my heart

four percents of my love,

my forgiveness, my joy of life

my thankfulness,

a handful of good friends,

this is something

to start from again.
