ANTS

Why do they keep coming?

They're never ending

They're covering about every inch of my body

Biting

It's getting excruciating

No matter how much I swat and brush them off

I can't get them all

More just come and take their spot

There's something they want to feast on.

Up my nose they go

Making it hard for me to breathe.

They're squeezing into my eye sockets and crawling past my eyes.

I can feel they're little legs prickling my eyeballs.

It feels like having a bunch of eyelashes stuck in your eyes, only sharper.

I can hear their bodies bumping into each other as they clog my ears.

I can barely hear the outside world anymore.

I can't stand this sensation

My desperation is only worsening

Everything is burning

They're eating away at my brain

I can feel my sanity deteriorating

What do you do

When there's no more sedation

When there's no escaping

And the pain is never ending

When the very thing you want to leave

Is your own body

I can no longer think

I'm past the brink

I'm ready to sink

6 feet deep

I stop resisting

And let them eat at me

Till I can no longer see

Till I can no longer breathe

Till my heart no longer beats
