When?

Alone in the corner is where i sit

drowning, are my emotions in a bottomless pit

 

I take a deep breath and attempt to take two

my head is a jumbled emotion zoo

 

Three breaths

four breaths

i’m wishing for my death

 

Knees cuddles to my chest

i try to make my brain rest

 

Breath five

breath six

my life needs to be fixed

 

Tears spill from my eyes

and splatter on my thighs

 

Breath seven

breath eight

these feelings are what i hate

 

My emotional intelligence is becoming weak

my emotional danger is about to reach its peak

 

I beg for breath nine

i feel like a wilting vine

 

Gasping for air

my head feels like its been mauled by a bear

 

Breath ten?

when?
