At Life's Doorstep
By Chris G Vaillancourt

Desperation.
It lifts me.
Defines me.
Don't want to die.
Yet every molecule is decaying.
Every brain cell is fractured.
The world ends. I cannot save it.
The world calls. I cannot hear it.
Endless confusion. Endless tension.
Screaming. No one acknowledges me.
Confused, confusing, rambling.
When I wake up in the morning
I'm still smelling the wood of my coffin.
