I’m falling - poem

Bruised toes
Shaking hands
Purple lips 
This is just how it goes

Sleepless nights 
Aching joints
Blurred vision and fainting
My stomach cries
Legs wobble
My heart thumps
I’m at the mercy of your lies

One more run
One more pill
Skip another meal
Just for god measure 
Luring me to the idea
That it’ll be better 
Calmer, quieter, safer
And maybe I won’t live in fear 
If I just do what I’m told
Follow the commands
Push my body to the brink
So it’ll match my mind. 

Breaking, weary, exhausted 
Still going, still trying
But running on empty fumes

Any hope is dying.
