Summer Day
It's a hot summers day with no air
no air conditioning
no wind
and it's suffocating and you scratch
you claw and you can't escape
the thoughts won't go away and nothing works
It's the inevitable ride
you find yourself on it over
and over
and over again
you look in the mirror and punch the reflection
but it's not hate
if I change my hair
If I change my nose
the sickness takes a toll
Never satisfied
The thirst in never quenched
and you pull your hair and scream
it doesn't get better
no wind, inhale
suffocating, breathe
scratching and clawing, fight
and the ride is over
once again, for just a little while
