I tell myself to focus
Concentrate on everything else
Take one step at a time
Step 1
2
3
Think on subjects away from reality
Perhaps to escape
Or maybe to simply pretend
4
5
6
Ignore the feeling
That unconceivable, heavy emotion
Why can’t I just focus on the steps?
7
8
...
What’s after 8?
I know this, I-
Is this what it’s like? Have I wrought what I previously never believed possible?
Why am I here?
What is this feeling?
...
...
It just feels like I’m so-
So...
What’s the word?
...
It isn’t even raining, where’d this water come from... oh.
I’m just so...
Alone.
9
Yes that’s the number.
