counting ceiling tiles
tracing the floorboards
my heart racing miles
my veins, electric cords
forgot medication
running cold water
high on elation
plunge my mind under
breath leaving lungs
constellations made
trailing past the tongue
all light begins to fade
then emerge from sleep
throwing shoulders back
eyes dull but deep
mind dissolved, heart attack
and then gone
gone is all i am
and i know i've won
but failed the exam
