Poets Square: Today I'm Giving Up / A.J Hendry
Today I'm giving up.
Painfully
Draining
What energy remaining
Leaks from me
Into
The
Floor
I've had enough
Enough fighting
Trying
Passionately
Crying
All it's done
Is create
This trapdoor
Falling.
Now I'm falling.
The floor
Now collapsed
Away
Hoping
Oh just hoping
My mind will drift
Fade
Stay
Yet, hopes a dream
A fantasy
To rot
And then
Decay
And in the emptiness
I know
It cannot erase
Today
And as my body
SMACKS
Into the solid ground.
I realize
With gasping breath
Another day
Has come
Around
A.J. Hendry
