Die.
Die.
Die.
The thoughts pulse
inside, forcing
My heart to beat along with their rhythm "
Bang, bang, bang
Against my rib cage, dogs scratching
At my door " let go,
I find myself thinking, the abyss opening itself
Wide, warm, welcoming beneath my feet.
I want to let go, so,
So badly " I want to let myself let go " I want to
Fall.
Into that hole and never resurface. Please.
I beg someone, anyone, take me away,
Tell me there is somewhere better than this,
Somewhere better to be than
Be trapped within myself!
Get up now.
Get up or die.

I stand. I brush
myself down. I step out from the cupboard. I am normal again.
