too much too soon (Free verse) by JMakStak
Iâm sick. Iâm getting sicker. The mirror has paint on it. The
mirror has me in it. I have paint on my face. Iâm growing old. My
hair is falling out. My eyes are white. My skin is mottled.
My eyes are wide open. My ears are stuck shut. I hear a song. My name
is in it. Iâm in the song.
I wrote the song. Iâm lost to youth. My teeth are falling out. My
skin is clear.
Iâm sick. Iâm getting sicker. Youâre a whisper. I can hear you.
I always whisper. I hear my name whispered. I whispered my name.
My eyes are closed tight. My ears are open wide. The song ends. My
name is muttered. Itâs a different song. I didnât sing the song.
That wasnât my song.
