it's sad,
that your mental pain
can cause you to feel physical pain.
it's like
your own thoughts
consume your entire body;
your stomach starts to hurt
your head is pounding
every breath you take
makes it more difficult
for the oxygen to flow through your body.
the breaths you take
soon become shorter
making your heart beat faster.
but the oxygen,
the oxygen doesn't make it into your blood.
your lungs long for oxygen
and your breaths
they turn into desperate cries for help;
not a cry yearning for oxygen,
but a cry for someone to save you.
save you from this body
that has now been consumed
by the mind you live with.
