The inside

And now,

I am the lifeless leaves

always falling from trees

I can hear the steady beep beep beep

of machines

the only evidence that I am still alive

but I don’t want to talk about

how I almost died

how the nurse laughed

when I asked if I would need stitches

and you could see bone

and I marvel at my meat

now I know what I look like on the inside

disgusting
