My Skeleton

My skeleton has brittle bones;

That’s what the test reveals,

Another prime example of

What aging often steals.


I could take some injections or

A course of daily pills

To build my bones back, just in case

I suffer any spills.


Though if I manage not to fall,

My bones are working fine.

Still, if I trip and break my hip,

I’ll know the fault is mine.


The quandary I am in is like

A coin toss - tails or heads?

To trust my balance not to fall

Or cave and take the meds?


Right now it’s 50 - 50.

Will my osteoporosis 

Leave my no-meds skeleton in peace

Despite my diagnosis?
