Sometimes time stands still in the most excruciating way and I can't bring my self to take a deep breath TO let myself be fixed To admit I can be fixed Can I be fixed? AM I broken? Am I scared? I am scared that when time stands still the air becomes stale, harder to swallow My eyes sting with tears Deep painful breath shut eyes stop tears don't cry not here not now later when I'm safer when my breath doesn't hurt so much when time is moving a little faster

distilled time
Sometimes time stands still in the most excruciating way and I can't bring my self to take a deep breath TO let myself be fixed To admit I can be fixed Can I be fixed? AM I broken? Am I scared? I am scared that when time stands still the air becomes stale, harder to swallow My eyes sting with tears Deep painful breath shut eyes stop tears don't cry not here not now later when I'm safer when my breath doesn't hurt so much when time is moving a little faster
