stop

breathe in

a throbbing in my head, a pounding in my mind

my chest is tight and it can\'t do its part. 

stop. I want it all to stop. 

my body aches from the irritation

blood slowly runs from vein to vein,

gradually stopping my life.

a heart beat in my throat as my vital organ

tries to escape from me - the monster inside of me. 

stop the pain. 

stop the thumping.

stop the sobbing. 

but still let me live; let me continue breathing

breathe out
