I've overdosed on ashes
Yet I still remain

I've slipped in neck deep
It's choking me in these trenches

Ashes.Trenches.
ColdFlames.BurningIce.
I'm still...here.
RightHere.Waiting.

My head is buzzing,
My stomach dropping
Up and D     w
                  o         n.

My head is blowing up
bigger and bigger
like an enormous balloon
I'm ready to burst.
I want to scream
I want to cry
Yet here I am
dead quiet
unnoticed
.silent.
