Slowly Dying

60 6 5
                                    

My wrists are wet with blood,
my eyes are red from crying,
my heart aches with pain.
I am slowly dying.

My lungs burn from fighting,
my head hurts from trying,
my stomach is empty.
I am slowly dying.

My hands are bruised from holding on,
my knees are skinned from attempted flying,
my lips are stained from bleeding.
I am slowly dying.

My hands are shaking while holding a gun,
my tongue is dry from crying,
my chest is tight from holding my breath.
I am slowly dying.

My knees are quivering from the cold,
my hands bring the gun to my head,
my finger pulls the trigger.
I am finally dead.
