Stay still, keep silent.
Hold your breath -
And slowly release.
Concentrate -
You'll be just fine.
Don't let yourself be defeated,
Don't let yourself be consumed.
You're better than this.
Don't shake,
Don't dare let him see you tremble -
You are no weak.
Take cover -
He's a threat, an enemy.
This has become a battle,
A war.
This fire is approaching.
You can feel it now,
It's slowly rising -
From your toes to your knees,
It's quickly approaching with poor warning.
It hits your heart - grabs and tears.
Your throat begins to swell,
There is no air left.
You're defenseless now -
You're showing off your vulnerability as your chin begins to dimple.
It hits your freckled nose,
Triggering it to flare.
It creeps slowly to prolong the agony -
How sweet.
Next comes the burning -
The blurred vision.
i really like this peice. you captured every detail very well. and it made me feel like i was watching each detail as it unfolded.
ReplyDeleteNoel, I am proud of you for changing the ending because I know you didn't like it. And i think it sounds very good and adds a little more to the peace and less repitition.
