Poem: What does every possible feeling
being felt all at the same time feel like?
The end of everything; the beginning of it all.
All of the thoughts bouncing around,
not thinking of anything though.

Deep breaths,
start to choke from lack of air.
Stomach churning and rumbling,
makes me sick to think of it.
Vision is blurring.
Maybe I am starting to see clearly now.
Head is pounding, can't hear my own thoughts.
Don't need any medicine, can't feel the pain now.
Everything hurts inside and out.
Damn I am so numb.

I am somewhat calm.
Hands trembling and feet shaking.
Must be precise in what I am doing.
Everything I do is all fucked up anyway.
Where to go and what to do now.
There is nothing out there anymore.
It is all empty, yet I am so full of it all.
Screw you all and go fuck yourself.
So what are you doing today? Let's go out.
Can you feel it, can you hear it?
Can you taste it, can you touch it?
Don't you hear that, the silence?
It is so deafening....
