keep up

In vain, ashamed,
We pretend.
“Smile!”
(I’m hurting.)
The pain…Don’t share,
Don’t spread,
Keep going,
Heads up.
“Step back!”
Don’t move,
Don’t try,
Stay put.
Water,
Some wine,
The poison this time.
(Dying.)
I’m falling behind…
(Please keep going.)
Struggling,
Fighting…
Leaving the living,
No more pretending.
In rest,
“I’ll be fine, I swear”:
In peace,
as breathing is fading,
I’m feeling at last.

This is good. I like the tempo and the emotions in it(:
