Tear me up in your jaws

Thrash til you hear the snap

I have felt like prey in every moment.

All that I am is a quaking mass

Of desperate, painful, energy.

I can't stand this slow death

And the stench of everything rot.

Festering anxiety

Spend waking hours waiting for sleep

In my dreams I clench my teeth

And they shatter into jagged pieces

This is just a sad and errant effort

To distract me

To buy time.

I am nothing

I am only wounded

Vicious and inept.
