Eyelids close as the seedy world spins, The butt drops,

  Hits the mattress.

  She doesn't see the flame or smell the smoke, Perhaps she's in a better place.

  Disappearing

  I shrunk a little bit more today,

  My opinions mattered a little bit less, A little bit more than yesterday, Perhaps it's for the best!

  I shrunk a little bit more today,

  No one noticed the agonizing pain, A little bit more than yesterday,

  I think I’ve gone insane!

  I shrunk a little bit more today,

  The people I love no longer see me, A little bit more than yesterday, The future will not be!

  I shrunk a little bit more today, You said thoughtless, cruel words, A little bit more than yesterday, My silence seems absurd!

  I shrunk a little bit more today, Encaged alone in this grim place, A little bit more than yesterday, The mouth sealed on my face!
