It’s like a slow moving poison
Dripping down my legs and arms
Making them as useless as paper in the water.

Cold, lifeless limbs
Hanging as if by a thread
Unable to move.

Soon my body will be like a corpse
Cold,
And dead
A tomb for my soul
Unmovable like the mountain
Regardless of my wills command.
