The voices crechendo

Growing louder

Voices mix with other sounds

Pulsing in my ears

Someone turn the bass down

No that's my heartbeat

Blood pumping through me

Blood seeping in my heart

My veins

My lungs

It fills my lungs

My chest constricts

Drowning

I fight for air

Claw at the boulders

They shove me to the floor

The boulders sink their jagged edges into my ribs

I cry out in pain

Tears blur my vision

The pain

Oh the pain

I struggle to stand

I struggle to breathe

I struggle to scream

I am helpless

My eardrums burst

My rib cage splinters

My voice goes hoarse

My eyes dry to bone

My body trembles

I am helpless
