Inside of Me
Poison
Slowly spreading through my veins
Silently killing
No one can see my pain
I have to shake it off, fight the feeling
Find the antidote
Seek my healing
If I did that, there may be hope
But the drug is addictive and
A sedative
Lethargy
Slowing engulfing me
Numbing to my fate until
I. DON'T. CARE.
A flood
Rising up through my stomach, chest and throat
Squeezing, choking, panicking
Drowning here alone
It's all-consuming
My thoughts are racing
I'm out of control
No! Push it back!
Breathe in. Relax.
Breathe out. Calm.
But I can't
There's no air and
Everything is wrong
I'm overwhelmed
About to suffocate
The waters are rising and
I. CAN'T. ESCAPE.
