SHIVER IN MY SPINE

 

my disposition states my position 

a hulled pain, stacked over the years 

but here I am, fighting back a millennial tears 

like a garbage, I am stuck 

everything else is far, even luck

loneliness comes in wave 

howbeit, I am and never a slave 

even when I gather my thoughts in a conclave 

no victor no vanquish 

this is all outlandish, I languish 

looking about, I am selective 

lost in my own self-destruct perspective 

I’m slow but everything else around me is active 

tell me I am in this alone 

it has deserted me, my cortisone and colon

no motion but it is a race 

a terrible fall from my grace 

hundred partitioned spaces like a maze 

opposed by the one thing I dread 

it is over, my head is never clear 

with a shiver in my spine, I let it out 

a thunderous cry lodged in my chest 

this is not a test, my soul is yet to rest 

it is either now or never 

sooner, life will pull the lever
