I Am Decaying
I am decaying.
Deteimental deception, there is no escape.
Stick in these silent systemic walls.
I am decaying.
Pick up, light up, put down.
Pick up, light up, put down.
I am decaying.
The outside is visible; its beauty is calling to me.
Nature arousing within me; it remains elusively beyond.
I am decaying.
Why have I chosen this for myself?
When will my waining body will itself out?
I am decaying.
Fuck all of this. Escape is eminent.
Determined, I decamp from damp dark days.
I am decaying,
But the earth will envelope me—
And I will _regrow again. _
