The Grinding Down
By johntaiyu
Sometimes you can actually feel it
the grinding down
that comes
with a poorly lived life
where when you lose something
like a lover or your health
or sometimes just the damn car keys
what happens deep down inside
is a small taste
of what it means
to die.

I like this. I suppose i've died a lot in my life, since it's not yet very well lived.
Or just when I wake up sometimes... and realize i'm still here.

This is so centered. A scrupulous delivery, I love it.
