Brian Davey Poet Monorhyme

Breaking Down

Caught in the depths of my shadows within
          Breathing in the plague of all the vermin
               Nauseated stomach and bile on my chin
                    Lips begin to crack from dehydrated skin

                    Follicles die out so my hair starts to thin
               Hard to move forward when my head only spins
          Hallucinations of bright lights and shiny sequins
     These days are already over before they begin
 
     My mind rests in pain with all of the aspirin
          While drowning out my system with tonic & gin
               These days are already over before they begin
                   Caught in the depths of my shadows within
