opposites

Inhale and hold it in.

You don't want to be called a *****

Even by your closest friend.

 

Exhale and let everything around you disolve.

There are no worries at this point.

There is nothing to think about.

Only the thoughts of what you have just done.

They start to sink in

And your thoughts come at you like never before.

 

The walls around you have only disolved, as the walls of your thoughts build up 10x as strong.

Tring to break through them only acts as a self distruct.

So you hit the button,

Once

Twice

More times than you thought was possible.

Especially after saying you wouldn't hit it after the first.

 

Running away is hopeless, as you end up where you left

Like many others.

You are not like them.

The ones who are lost in thier own loop.

Learn from thier mistakes.

 

 

Gulp, gulp, gulp...

Onto something new we see.

A different country, a different coulture.

 

Swallow and discover the opposite.

There are no worries.

There are no thoughts.

There is nothing at all.

The only thing that sinks is the liquid inside your empty stomach.

 

The walls are blured

And your perception on reality is fuzzed.

Like a kid in a bouncy castle,

you don't want to leave.

 

The echoing sound of your parents escorts you out though.

You follow them home

And before you lay into slumber

They remind you of school in the morning.
