sometimes
———
sometimes i think i’m dying
other times
i think i’m living
sometimes i’m tired of crying
other times
i’m tired of giving
sometimes i feel so old
like a stale piece of bread
covered with mold
no one would eat it
unless they were starving
sometimes I feel like i’m hungry
for something maybe i used to have
or perhaps never did
for what i used to be
for secrets
i hid
and when all is said and done
and whispers cease from my lips
would you have said you have won?
would you watch the liquid drips
from some machine?
i think you know
what i mean
sometimes the dreams are too much
i wake with sweat
wondering forever
if i’ve paid the debt
and if i can die easy
