Keep it in.

Take a breath.

The lights will dim.

I’ll think of death.

Let it out.

Truth be told.

I try to shout.

Try to be bold.

Keep it in.

Hold it down.

Sink or swim?

I choose to drown.

Let it out.

Let it be.

What’s this about?

Is it on me?

Keep it in.

I’ll close my eyes.

Please hide your grin.

And keep your lies.

Let it out.

It wasn’t me.

Why do you doubt?

I cannot breathe.

Keep it in. Let it out.

In and out and in and out.

Until I can’t anymore.
