My Nightly Routine

by Obscure Misfit   Jun 16, 2006


Everythings blurry,
My eyes filled with uncried tears,
I sit up and look around at the familiar blackness,
My heart is pounding uncontrollably,
Its hard to breathe from all the sobs,
My ears echo the faint pounding if my racing heart,
Thud, thud, thud,
I need to breathe,
I take a deep breath in and out,
Slowly and steadily,
Trying so hard to breathe normally,
And to control the tears streaming down my worn out face,
My breath quavers,
And I inhale vigorously because my lungs cant get air in fast enough,
I slam my head into the pillow,
Frustrated from my failed attempt to calm myself,
And take what I hope to be my last deep breath,
I keep holding it,
Holding it,
My body starts to relax,
And best of all my desperate cries begin to cease from lack of oxygen,
I wait,
Then I lift my dizzy head from the pillow,
At that instant my lungs replenish gratefully with air,
I keep breathing and the air feels cold in my throat,
I lay my head back down,
My nightly routine being completed.
