Lightning

8 1 3
                                    

when the lightning struck
it was terribly, terribly
loud.
i don't like loud noises.
they make me anxious.
it kept going the whole way home.
i couldn't breathe
there was a
tightness in my chest.
i felt my heart beat.
More then I have in awhile.
Maybe the lightning isn't that bad
If it makes me feel this human.
