this is how i die
i guess
my legs are stiff and my back pops whenever
i try to get up
my face is dry and
itchy
i can't remember the last time i ate
and tasted the
food
it's a sneaky descent
that's just how it goes
i thought that these bruised knees and
swollen knuckles would
keep me afloat
i was wrong

this is how i die
i know
rotting alive
