Stop! Why won't you stop?
Your breathing is erratic!
Your shaking is visual!
Your eyes close and hold,
You seem hysterical.
Why are you acting like that!
Are you having a panic attack?
Can you not stay on track?
How much more can you take?
How much more sound can those headphones hold down before they break.
Do you think you're alone?
No voice in your voice mail,
Or tones from your phone.
Looking at that screen
Screaming, is anyone home!
watching your chest cave
Observing the delay
Counting
One in
Two out
Deep breath,
saying your ok.
Until A Few minutes pass
It comes back
Pulse starts to quicken
You start sinking in
Repeat the process again and again
The counts increased, your past ten
Thinking to yourself,
will I feel normal by the end.
I don't mean to call you out.
I'm saying this all as a friend
I don't want to see you go down that road again.
So Pick up the pen.
Write it all out
Its Your only way to vent
Only way to beat this drought
At the end of the day
All you can do is try
Did you even notice the voice saying this Was all in your mind
My way to escape my will to escape
