Push

[nibbed]

Push                                                 Not sure if the title fits

Curl up                                               an exclamation point might work here                             

Protect yourself                                   a colon?
Your head
Your Heart
your Being                                                     why the mix of capitals, why no punctuation?

The onslaught                                    

Push forward
one step

Each moment a lost one

Nothing to sink into
Nothing to become

The torrent continues

Breathe.  Recall the Reason                              

But death, ever present.  cutting                          not sure cutting fits, perhaps imposing?

Each moment a thief
stealing your soul
steeling your soul                                                          this is where the contradiction works.

The curling up made me think of an armadillo or a rolley-polley bug. Forgive me for the hodge-podge format, I worried I wouldn't be able to fit all I may need to. The poem lacks proper punct and capitalization.The meter seems fine, though. I looked up the word steeling because I was thinking metal,  but now it fits nicely. I wondered if you were aiming for minimalism. I'm going to check out Lizzie's suggestion to the links, too, because I am sure it will be a blessing.
