Under My Skin
POEM " UNDER MY SKIN " by martin gedge
I can feel you breathing deep beneath my skin
tugging at the fabric of the shell that keeps me in
racing through the circuits putting pressure on each vein
trying to find the surface for the rush of blood to drain
pushing every button just to try to make me budge
pricking like a poison a disease that has a grudge
invading all my sensory to violate and serve
around the very vital just to bite on every nerve
I see as what your doing in the waiting that I break
the moment that I whither in the shiver and the shake
I will not be a victim in a system without will
but a soldier of my dying right in spite of what you fill
this life is never easy but I earned this godly birth
to give of everything I have to show my human worth
you will not take me gently in this body I defend
for I will not surrender and I will fight right to the end...
