Rotten
The maggots have infiltrated
My already rotten brain
Eaten alive is the worst suicide
Yet that is what I feel
Yo-yo from day to day
Left feeling down
Needing more than the emptiness
Wishing I could just manage
Take all of the maggots and worms
Leave them inside me to squirm
Where I can feel them eating
All of the rot I have inside


Elisabeth Stover 1995
