    down there

    I feel like im slipping
    slipping away from my mind
    as i'm scratching, clawing, and gripping
    i continue slipping, slipping, and slipping
    Everyone i love gets further away
    it hurts worse down there
    but the hurt fits me i would say
    i cant hold on, because my muscles hurt
    when i let go i feel dirtier than dirt
    then i turn the rock into smoke...
    oh my god!
    right now, everything feels...
    OK

    The issue I see with this is that there is too much exposition. Look for images to convey what you are feeling. I'm sure, based off the power of the emotions you are attempting to describe, that painting these images instead of saying them will be easy.

    Other thing - the final turn seems rushed and out of nowhere. Why does everything suddenly become "OK"?
    Poets are always taking the weather so personally. They're always sticking their emotions in things that have no emotions.
