All the fibers of my body are taut;
they're about to tear apart my sameness
and wreak havoc on my oneness.
I have a strained mind and a body
that's collapsing onto itself in agony;
my senses are sore with overthinking,
my hopes crushed with foreboding,
and I expect to lose my integrity
this instant where all of this is over.
I am ground into the powder of my former self.
