My demise

Volatility amongst siblings

Will be my demise

Unwashed towels,

Unmatched socks,

Unfound shoes,

Daily I die

Will I survive?

Make it to an empty nest?

Or will I slowly rot away

Amongst this teenage

Mess & decay?

Buying Calgon by

The bulk

Valium, Xanax, my turn to sulk

Some day not soon enough

I'll look back on these days so tough

And think to myself,

"that wasn't so rough"

I "demise"

My word for the day

Perhaps great sleep

Would give me something else to say

My thoughts are of annihilation

From the time I get up

Insistent on silence

Til I see the bottom of my cup

A casualty of

Insomnia, and lonely nights

It's the downfall of

The majority of all my writes

Quietly I evaporate

Into my work

Sporadically browsing

Fb to lurk

No longer asleep

Coffee hath revived

Instead of dying

I now feel alive
