Words Running through my brain
A beat, a melody, with no refrain
Every step out of place
Each mistake unable to be erased
Ink stains splattered against empty pages
Heated passions that feed no cravings
Boiling, Roiling, Turbulence
Thoughts a scattered empty mess
Shaking hands and bated breath
Heart beating ever faster in my chest
One, two, three, four, five
Force back images of bloodied knives
Then Stop.
Eyes Shut
Breath Deep
Again.
Five, four, three, two, one
Another battle fought and won
Bravery, courage, words foreign
Meanings feel misplaced and yet earned
Survive
Stay Alive
Again.
