Simple words cut through my heart with their syllables.
They pound in my chest with their dreadful meaning.
Causing fear and shock to trickle throughout my body
The chemicals bind together to make the world stand still around me.
Bodies of others seem to float in the enclosure surrounding me, but I do not register that they are there.
Thoughts race through my head, but like me, they do not reach a destination.
Static fills the air around me, and tortures my ears with it's ringing.
It swirls around my head with the voice of my news.
Both noises chant together to become louder and louder until I want to scream.
Reaching my breaking point, my body becomes numb.
Oxygen doesn't seem to reach my lungs.
Waves of suffocation wash over me.
Forcing me to fall to my knees.
Feeling helpless, I sit on the floor in a crumbled mess.
Waiting for the days to pass, and the better times to come.
