Simply Functioning

This is a poem I wrote in 2011.
 
Simply Functioning
Tales of Aging

Stress fractured mental condition,
interruption causes me to leave things behind.
Staying focused on the subject
prevents me from skipping vital steps in my mind.
Simmering frustration foments
when enormous efforts don't produce in the end.
Simple factors complicated,
brings agitation when I cannot comprehend.
Senior faculties faltering,
makes simple functioning a monumental task.
Self forgiveness isn't easy;
keeping it hidden from others is all I ask.
