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
