my body won't work anymore
my mind is shutting down
each time i get up out of bed
i feel like i might drown.
my lungs are filled up to the brim
my heart is clenched tight shut
my eyes are sore from staring at
the gunshot in my gut.
my hands are shaking, knees are quaking
i just can't get this right
my hair is greying, spine decaying
i don't have strength to fight.
my speech is slurring, vision blurring
i'm silently sobbing with doubt
and life gets hard, you're horribly scarred
when your own damn screws fall out.
