helpless and falling deeper
some days are too long and painful
attackers seem around the corner
food has no taste
dizzy and nausea swarm and swallow
buzzing flies amid rising temperatures
the gates are unlocked
evil seeps close
when did it get this bad?
metallic teeth scratch a black board
laughing voices tease and bewilder
staggering through the day
unable to get upright
sad
despondent
the end
a sudden move
strikes
the back on all fours
this old world is good again
