Learning to Breathe

61

Noise pounded in my ears
But nothing can take away my fears
Hidden beneath it all
All that's left is the fall
Tears that no one will ever see
No one that is but me
The pain is real enough
Harsh, cruel, and rough
It's all bottled up inside
A killer roller coaster ride
I feel like I'm about to burst
From the heaviness and the thirst
The cool sharpness of a blade takes it all away
And so the darkness is where I have to stay
