Thump thump.

Thump thump.

Heart racing

Brain pacing

Thump. Thump.

Tongue twisting.

Eyes exploding.

Thump.

Time ticking.

Never-ending.

Thump.

Knife. Gun.

Thump thump.

Words hurt.

Thump.

But not as much

As silence.

Thump thump.

Indecision.

Should I-

Or should I not?

Thump thump.

Any second.

Thump.

Blood running.

Thump thump.

Razor held.

Limp hands.

Thump thump.

Will I be exposed?

Discovered as imperfect?

Thump thump.

Thump-

Lifeless body.

Shame-filled faces.

Justify the means- creating spaces.

No more pounding.

Life not ticking.

Just another life.

Not worth living.
