Drums
February 22, 2010
I had felt so much
Stress, I was just
So tired.
I needed to escape,
I even needed to escape from
The one I loved.
I ducked my head under
The water, let out
A little oxygen, and held
The rest in.
I laid there for what seemed
Like years, just
Hearing my heartbeat in
My ears, a
Loud drumming,
The torture of the living.
