{breath}

It's so easy to hear things that aren't there. It is so easy to feel things that aren't there. It is so easy. So easy.

So easy for me.

I feel the pain of guilt. I feel the pain of want. I feel the pain of weakness. I feel the pain of failure. I feel the pain of defeat.

That will not be me.

I want to feel the pain of bleeding this time around. I want to feel the pain of all pains. Not sorry. Pain.

Hurting.
Wounded.
Bleeding.
Scraping.
Scruffing.
Bleeding.
Trembling.
Falling.
Bleeding.
Melting.
Dripping.
Bleeding.

Blood.

Bleeding.
