You stop to think To listen before you speak The atmosphere consuming you Pulling you deeper and deeper You lose yourself Succumbing to numbness The deafening sound of a million mosquitos Piercing every sound barrier A sudden jolt of adrenaline The wind catches your breath You see it float away With nothing but helplessness Perhaps there is a way To pull through Or, perhaps, there is not But this is it for now You stop to think To listen before you speak Only you find yourself Clutching on to thin air
