I am the afterglow Was once strength and beauty Was once a time of hope and grace Was a time of confidence and health Now in its'place A dried up cerebellum Legs like sawed timber Ataxia effecting a wide gait A freak No longer beautiful No longer skinny and toned Fat and immobile Lazy and fatalistic Let death take me quickly and smudge away my tracks Erase all memory of me I have gone

I Am The Afterglow
I am the afterglow Was once strength and beauty Was once a time of hope and grace Was a time of confidence and health Now in its'place A dried up cerebellum Legs like sawed timber Ataxia effecting a wide gait A freak No longer beautiful No longer skinny and toned Fat and immobile Lazy and fatalistic Let death take me quickly and smudge away my tracks Erase all memory of me I have gone
