In this bed,

I lie in this deep pit of despair I've lunged myself into,

 it slowly consumes my very being,

It eats my soul,

my mind,

me.

 

In this bed,

I remember how I was before,

Taking for granted the time I had left,

Disrespecting those who had loved me,

 and praising those who had scorned me.

 

I sit in this bed, wires poking out of me,

 experts pretending to know what is wrong with me,

what consumes me,

I know what it is,

The experts raise the prices promising explanations,

I have the explanation,

But they will never listen,

And once I leave this room,

They will learn.
