Failing

Living
Moment to moment
Every second
More intense
More important
More painful
Than the one before.
I'm slowly
Being skinned alive
Pieces of bone
Falling away from my skin
My freckles
The wrinkles in my face.
I am bleeding out
Drowning every part
Of my whole self.
Never calm
Never happy
Where do I go?
Where did I go?
I am crawling
Hands
and knees
And heart

I'm failing.
