Death Breathing Down My Neck Poem by Elizabeth Jacqueline Mpanga

I woke up this morning with so much despair and disdain in my heart
My heart was breaking and I could hear it
I have tried to get over this nagging feeling but it keeps tagging at me
It burrows down into my marrow
I can smell death, it is breathing down my neck
I am panicking right now
I don't like this feeling at all
Its like madness filled with despair and hopeless anguish
I am so sick of feeling this way
Depart from me, I will not let you ruin me
I will fight you till the end
I have so much to live for
Then why do I feel this way?
