Knees against my chest This is no way to go on Hands through my hair If you push hard enough The hole in my lungs Just sit still Nails at my skin That's not about to change Pulse in my temples Move slow, keep it tight Jaw clenches hard Breathe, come on The dreams on the edge Come back, stay grounded Fear comes in tides She's talking to you, focus Drained, collapse, ache Just a little farther, another step Ripped, tossed, tense Let's sleep now, please A gasp for air It's morning. I made it.
