Feel Like Dying

February 26, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I need to hurt right now
so that I can tell you how I feel
you asked the question,
“how do you feel?”
therefore, I need to search
discover
embrace
and then discern
so I can give you a real answer
…
I don’t feel like life
I feel I’m dying, I feel like dying, I think I died
I’m dead
