I tell myself that I'm leaving, to go alone and scream into the night air. I arrive and try, the air in my throat is tight. Sounds of anguish and frustration unable to holler out, I tell myself that nothings changing, so I grab a lighter that I've been hiding, and hold the tumour between my lips. Slobbering tears as I lite my stress, this is as close to death as I can feel. The venom dripping from my mouth, my foot pressing harder against the pedal down this country strip. A referendum in my mind embellished with motivation, so I tilt the wheel and leave it to momentum. .

screaming
I tell myself that I'm leaving, to go alone and scream into the night air. I arrive and try, the air in my throat is tight. Sounds of anguish and frustration unable to holler out, I tell myself that nothings changing, so I grab a lighter that I've been hiding, and hold the tumour between my lips. Slobbering tears as I lite my stress, this is as close to death as I can feel. The venom dripping from my mouth, my foot pressing harder against the pedal down this country strip. A referendum in my mind embellished with motivation, so I tilt the wheel and leave it to momentum. .
