What it feels like

It's like trying to catch your breath after falling down seven flights of stairs.

It's like your heart is on fire and you've forgotten where you put the extinguisher.

It's like slamming your foot on the brake when you thought it was the accelerator.

It's like biting into a grape and hitting the seed.

It's like hitting your funny bone but the tingling never stops.

It's like you want to forget what it feels like but you only feel alive when you have it.
