My chest hurts and my head is pounding,

Breathing is hard and my heart is palpitating.

My body is tired, I need to rest,

Try as I might, I just can’t find my nest.

My hands are shaking, and my vision is blurry,

I must be hallucinating, for my feet seem furry.

The emotions are crazy, I want to cry,

I’ve got no tears left, my eyes are dry.

I’m half my size and my appetite’s lost,

This life isn’t dear, it’s come at a great cost.

I wish to lie down and close my eyes,

The life I’ve lived so far should suffice.
