5 minutesThis isn't some joke

5 minutes
This isn't some joke
Or a show.
A thing for you tarnish with your objectivity.

3 minutes
Clenching my gut
My empty lungs
Breathe girl
Breathe.

1 minute
My chest is a thumb wrapped in string
Swelling with blood
Ready to burst
Please take a breath.

30 seconds.
Mic on
Light focused
Come onn inhale
" she was just a girl..."
