Aug 2016
it eats through me like a caterpillar going through a leaf
it may not have much strength, but I am even weaker
it tears through my body until it hits my throat
there remains the aches of forgotten worries and the lumps of memory
it devours my lungs, leaving them gasping for air
my eyes burn and all the water in the world could not satisfy them
I feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest as it anticipates it's demise
It's all inside my head
I come out the other end of it feeling exhausted
my body relaxes and the adrenaline leaves
I'm left breathless and confused
what just happened?
