Have you ever felt
your chest burning,
with your insides writhing about
and crying out for no end?
Have you ever felt
your stomach drop
when you call out to an empty
field and there's no echo?
Have you ever felt
your brain throb
from crying yourself to dehydration,
hiccuping and coughing and losing
consciousness?
Have you ever felt
our body shut down
after days, weeks of stress and anxiety piling
in to you
and pinning you to the bottom of the world?
Have you ever felt
your mind desire to kill itself
when it's tired of all the pain and heartache
and the whiplash from watching things spin out
of control?
I have felt that....
