don’t breathe
if you do all your patients will
leave
so i stay still
crunching my fists
now taking a deep breath
but my eyes start to mist
i’m not holding on to the death
because im
fine
i just need time
just as the pain starts to wear away
the fire comes and sits to stay
i feel my heart pouring out
im fine i doubt.
