I am dying. As most are, I am unprepared. I feel death tingle down my arms And rob my struggling lungs of air.
I feel it settle over my mind like a haze Of drowsy, unfocused wooziness. I am terrified of it, I am scared I can feel the cold grasp of death.

She hands me a bottle that clicks with magic She tells me it's not much and I believe that. She hands me a bottle after she checks me over. I take the bottle and remove myself from where I sat.
.
I remind myself that I am not dying. I remind myself that I can breath, am breathing. I remind myself that I am not tingling. I lie to myself factually: I am not dying.

I don't believe her or myself If I were to believe, would that make me crazy? If I weren't to believe, would that make me crazy? If I am cleared headed yet somehow feel hazy?
**** this lazy rhyme in off kilter four four time: Am I crazy if I feel my lungs fight for air though I have no problem breathing? What if I feel my body shutting down when I am more than healthy? Am I crazy if I know it's the end but can't explain or even postulate why? Am I crazy if I write so someone knows what happened when I die (whilst thinking I am alive I wont die but I am dying which is just the panic speaking but if it's not then I'll be gone by tomorrow which wont happen. maybe.)?
