Side Effects May Include Death

I’m sprawled across the table.
After a quick ambulance ride.
Trying to keep my heart rate stable.
I feel myself dying inside.
I wasn’t ready for this.

they are crawling all over me

It came out of nowhere.
This scorching hot terrible pain.
A bottomless well of despair.
Hides behind this calmness I feign.
I am terrified.

they are making a picnic of my death

Everyone is there.
Surrounding the bed.
Telling me they care.
Smashing hammers into my head.
They know not what they do.

only a few minutes of agony left

They do know what they do.
So they smash a little gentler.
A classic case of the humans.
Carrying the prognosis of ‘fucked’.
I scream as I die.
