Red

Violent screams,

tears dripping from

your eyes,

emotions claw your

insides,

biting your brain,

consuming the heart,

you want to die,

blood pumping,

pulsing,

you can't breathe,

curling into a fetal

position you count to 10,

try to distract your

thoughts,

breathe,

exhale,

inhale,

breathe,

taking nothing to heart,

you can't help but

want to shoot yourself,

want to stop breathing,

everything goes by

so fast,

to fast,

pain can't stop,

can't wait,

can't pause,

always,

breathe....
