"From the ceiling"

I am shaking
From the inside out
My intestines tangling,
My stomach climbing from my mouth.

I feel like
There is someone strangling me,
I feel like
Dangling from the ceiling.

I am a tree branch in my bed,
Immovable and cold.
Ready to be stepped on;
Ready to be snapped.
And there is rot in my wooden head,
A hole filled with mold.
I am this hollow branch, sinking in mud, and
I cannot find my soul.

I feel my bark peel;
My human skin thins.
My bones protrude;
My chest caved in.

I am disintegrating- my torso twisting, rotating,
I have gone missing; reality is now shaky.
The plates inside my head breaking,

And my grip on sanity is quickly fading.
