Overwhelmed

by jane286

Dying Falling and failing Crashing and cracking Never breaking Drowning But still breathing Never dead But always dying No Relief Trying to hold on to the last remains of life Desperately wanting to let go Shattered inside But never showing Halfway dead With no one ever knowing Systems failing While the world looks on.
