Paper Bones

By the third day, my body was fading.

Everyone goes eventually, I guess.

I wasn’t even born to last long.

But still,

I never even got a chance, y’know?

In this cold, goddamn world,

where everyone gets multiple shots,

do-overs, and groundhog days,

I only got one.

I guess that’s what happens

when your bones are made from paper.
