The moment before you are so hungry that your abdomen goes numb
That surprising feeling of fullness
The kind that feels like nauseousness
But doesn't make you vomit
The moment when the dry summer air gets in your lungs
That feeling like they are about to burst
The kind of pressure caused by heat
But that doesn't cause any damage
The feeling before you present a make-or-break grade
That chance to gain or lose it all
The uncaring eyes of peers across the room
But your gut says they are judging
The stillness of your heart in your chest
That overinflated balloon
The feeling making you breath twice as much
But not supplying any additional oxygen.

In the Garden Primeval, where I'll pray for you.
PoésieI have a plan for you You'll deal with it all And with the weight of the world on your shoulders you'll face a fall People won't catch you Many times But I'll pray for you They'll come in time
