And so it goes

And so it goes,
the pull down deep.

It starts to peel my skin away,
exposing all that is broken,

reminding me of what I am.

I DO NOT WANT YOUR FUCKING PITY,
I am embarrassed by it.

I see a video in my head…on repeat.
A person is trapped inside
trying to claw their way out,
like a dream where I should run and cannot.

How much time do I have?
If I knew, I could stand it.

I want to punch the clock;
To wake up with a chip on my shoulder;
To race in the marathon;
To fight for malnutrition and landmines and war….
to stop waiting for death…or worse.

The only energy I have left goes to fighting myself;
my own body.

I am humbled.
I am small.

I am defeated.



If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this
