On The Ropes

On The Ropes

My mortality makes its presence known
As spitting out another tooth has shown
The constant headaches and little sleep
My inconsistency in counting sheep
Phantom pains for no reason I can name
It is just the reaper still winning the game
The further I push through lifeΒ 
The more I feel him twisting the knife
My immortality is an illusion
Thinking I will live for ever is a delusion
Why did I even start
When everything I've ever done will fall apart
I am in no hurry to snuff out my flame
I need to figure a way to prolong this game
Because every time I look in the mirror
The fact that I will eventually die becomes a little clearer
