Everything slows down for a moment
And time becomes still
Sound dispels itself and grows cold
And I feel its chill
Emotions flow out over the silence
Self deprecating and destructive
Bleeding down my face
Intensely frightful and obstructive
Falling to my knees
Face in my hand
Facing facts
Reality and fable disband
Breathing out my pain
Exhale
Swallowing down my pride
Inhale
I am alive
Repeat:
I am alive
And nothing else matters
