barely
silicone skeleton
calcified bones
toxic shock syndrome
organ grown stones
flaming black plastic heart
emotions out of whack
schizophrenic mindset
a hypochondriac
sped so high then higher
had dreams that I was flying
dead inside on fire
no time to waste on dying
care for you
neglect myself
there for you
you wreck my health
my well being
might as well
have been speeding
right to hell
my will will not
begin to bend
my woe won’t will
itself to end
baring me
barely me
baring me
my heart
tearing me
barely me
you're tearing me
apart
baring me
barely me
baring all
I'm not
scaring me
I’m barely me
you’re scaring me
a lot
baring me
I'm barely me
rarely me
I’m shot
just bury me
won't barely be
please give me
no more thought
don’t carry me
please bury me
was living
now I’m not
