Maggots Poem by lizzy smith

Maggots



internal maggots
eating my heart
I gouge at myself
to get them out

decaying and rotting
my mind and soul
I sit and I die
I rot in the cold

inside out
I die within
maggots eating me
underneath my skin

is anyone there
to say goodbye
to tell me they love me
before I die
