Concrete
My bones are full of concrete.
Heavy and unsure,
And when I try, to sleep at night.
I lack the strength to toss, or turn.
My soul is full of concrete,
Heavy and impure,
And when I try, to laugh or cry,
My eyes, begin, to burn.
My heart is full of concrete.
Quiet, does not stir,
And when I try, hard to deny,
I see my veins are full of dirt.
My lungs are full of concrete,
The air, it must deter,
And when I try hard not to sigh.
My spirit becomes unsure.
My body is full of concrete,
It's cold, but it endures.
Then I will try, to say goodbye.
For I know there is no cure.
