I am not living,
My knees are slowing giving,
I cannot feel my heart,
My pulse refuses to start,
My lips are numb and ice cold
My temperature is starting to fall
My joints wont bend at all
My skin feels a million years old
My ears are ringing, I hear no sound
My lungs have fallen on the ground
My hand are surely shaking
I can feel each bone slowly breaking
My toes are blue, they match my face
Every organ feels out of place
tongue wont budge, my words are caught
My hands are dry my head is hot
I am not living
but I am Alive
