The room suddenly overcome with dark shadows
the air cold and damp
the pain is the only thing felt
thought about
that matters
everything else is forgotten
doesn't matter
you feel the dripping
running slowly down your arm
your eyes flash open
the light floods in
you feel the heart beat in your arm
you run to the sink and wash off
you cover your arm and walk out of the bathroom
the stress
the pressure
everybody watching has returned
but you are ok for the moment
in till you need to return again to the bathroom
when its too much
and you just want to forget the world
no matter how short the time.
