Chapter Text

I can't stop. 

Thump Thump

But I want to.

Thump Thump

I'm so tired

Of the constant bleeding inside of this hollow cavity called a chest.

Sitting between the lungs, my friends, 

Hearing the echo of my heartbeats inside these vacant walls.

I want this endless cycle to end.

Thump thump

I’m sick of the continuous feeling of blood pumping in and out of my ventricles and valves. 

The way it flows through me is a feeling never changing.

The rush and current of my blood streaming into my friends and through these veins.

Thump thump

But if I stop

Thump-

Then they stop

Thump-

And they can’t stop.

Thump-

They have things to do.

Thump-

Moments to achieve.

Thump-

I can't get in the way of their goals, of their dreams, just because I'm tired.  

So I will continue to pump, to distribute, to feel .

This is what I was created to do. I can’t fail. 

Thump Thump

Notes:

we discussed it in class and my classmates were cooking. they were coming up with interpretations that i didn't even think of when i was writing, bc i was writing out of my ass. but they seemed to enjoy it, i will be revising it at some point though
