I Have Feelings Too

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp.

The poisonous liquid rushes down

Alcohol.

Stop!

Hello?

Do you hear me?

I am the thing that keeps you alive.

Contracting.

Releasing.

I am like the sea that gives life to fish.

The water that gives life to the plants.

I give life to you.

But yet you sit here throwing darts at me.

As the poison rushes through my veins I become weak and ill.

Cardiomyopathy.

What it’s called when I get so stressed I begin to droop.

I can only take so much.

Stroke.

When I become so weak I can no longer support all of you.

Making it seem as if you are a fish on land

Without water.

Yes, maybe your thoughts and feelings come from the brain.

But I have feelings too.

If you have a bad day don’t try to wash it away.

When you do it destroys your inner city of life.

Flooding it.

Like a hurricane.

How about a run?

Those relieve stress.

The effects last longer anyways,

Weather you realize it now or not.

I could keep you alive much longer.

But if you chose to keep beating on a dead horse,

I have no choice but to give up.

Next time you’re stressed,

Don’t forget I have feelings too.

Do what’s really best for you.
