Faded

She disappears

Like a snowflake in water

Slowly disintegrating

Behind the veils of her illness

Shadows crawl to light

Like monsters, from every corner of her ravaged mind

With big gasping breaths

She tries to escape

Contemplating death

With every tick of every tock

Longing for an end to come

Already written and done

Strangled by fear of knowing … that she does not know

Familiar faces fading

Names running off to a distant space

Not a moment of solace

Unremitting injustice
