The Beating Heart

Just read this to the rhythm of your heart beating.
Thump, thump. Thump, thump.

breathe in


it’s peace

that fills

your lungs


breathe out


it’s war

that pumps

your blood


stand up


it’s guts

that hold

your frame


break down


it’s fear

that moves

your limbs


fists clenched


it’s hope

that’s trained

your thoughts


give in


your hope

is not

enough


shut up


it’s dumb

to part

your lips


bare teeth


they’re lies

that make

you live


open eyes


it’s life

that wakes

your time


close eyes


it’s death

that lives

your life



Super rough because I have to go study for Biology now, but I wanted to get something written down before I forgot.
