Energy drinks

My heart
It's thudding
Thudding like a trapped animal
Pounding
Yelling
Yelling at me and my choices in life.
It's yelling at my choices of love
My choices of drinks
The choices I breath
My body screams at me
It's so silent that the average person can't hear
It's so silent but my mind
My mind hears every bit
Every scream
Every cry
From my lungs
From my heart
My head yells back
As my heart starts to beat faster
My lungs turning silently
Bitterly
Black
My vision becomes clearer though
My hands become shaky
My life becomes stable
And my heart pounds faster
My brain turns silent
My tastebuds on fire.
We have that one thing that helps us escape from reality
Some it's books
Some it's smoking
Others it's energy drinks
For a moment
The cool bubbly liquid slides down my throat
Reality slips away
It's me and the taste
Not my body screaming at me
Not my mind yelling at me
Telling me to be perfect
To be someone I'm not
To fit in
It's just me
And the taste
In a paradise of 81 grams of sugar
With shakey hands
A silent peaceful mind
An adrenalin junkie heart
And an easy way to cope.
