Noxious Emotions

Hiding behind the shadow my smile created

I cry.

As my tears leak into my blood stream

The lump I'm my throat thickens and uncomfortable thoughts begin to flood my imagination.

Breath I beg myself.

But I can't.

I feel as if I am submerged in a heavy layer of smog.

Although my beautiful smile is still valid

And my hugs are tight,

The storm in my heart turns my blood cold.

In a room full of people I feel alone, drowning in confusion.

When left in an empty space

I feel chills down my spine

Little did I know the devil crept up behind

Digging his nails in my back,

he whispers in my ear

Jump.

Eyes closed. Smile still pasted.

I take a step forward

At the last minute I hesitate.

I was able to catch the edge

Barley holding on

I try to pull myself up but my grip begins to weaken.

Next thing I know I'm surrounded by darkness.

Quickly I realize

I no longer exist.
