get busy dying

April 14, 2013
By Anonymous

I am numb
but yet
I still feel pain
through the
stains
and the pulsing
of my veins
I am skin
I am bone
no brain
no soul
and with
no place
to go

I can relate, sadly to this poem. I think we all so really at some point in our lives. This reminds me of Dorothy Parker's "Resume." Read it whenever you can.
