Wilma Neels Poet Verse

'warfare'

Fighting the demons 
no one sees 
only you feel it 
eating away at your skin 
crawling in your veins 
where your blood use to reign 
supreme 

the tingling you feel 
is it just your imagination?

I can see it in your eyes 
you are no longer who you were 

they have taken over
possessed every inch of you 
try and fight the madness 
that’s not part of you 

No one will believe 
you just gave up without a fight
don’t let them steal your last breath
