Trials

I am breaking,

kind of, aching.

Actually -

factually,

cracked for years.

Stacked with fears,

backed by spears.

I am slipping,

kind of, gripping.

Although

fallow,

falling through time.

Stalling in grime,

crawling to climb.

I am crumbling,

kind of, stumbling.

Despite

respite,

biting in blind.

Slighting entwined,

writing my mind.
