Twisted and tied

Churned alive

Blank I cried

Deeper I dive

–

That pain

In the pit

I strain

Agony lit

–

No function

Undistracted

Feeling nothing

Darkness protracted

–

Not a person

Not in character

I only worsen

A bad actor

–

Continuance of being

Cessation of all

Choice I am seeing

I need to stall

–

I can survive

I am told

Staying alive

Indeed bold

–

Alone I choose

A life to give

Refusing to lose

Now I live
