tears bleed red
down the stream
where i can’t breathe
gasping
the taste of salt coming into my mouth
burning down my throat
stabbing pains start to feel velvety
as i wither away to numbness
i watch the scars imbed themselves into my skin
and then i wake
i awake the demons lurking in the shadows of my mind
they remain dark unbothered my the sunlight
anonymous to everyone but me
hell becomes reality
