Heart beating.
Blood dripping.
Body heating.
Feet slipping.

Turning bends.
For if I'm caught,
My life ends,
My struggles for naught.

Eyes crying.
Mouth screaming.
Me dying.
I must be dreaming.

My heart stops,
My blood no longer flowing.
My body drops,
My feet no longer going.

I'm running from my self.
So honey if you would,
I really need some help,
So help me if you could.

I'm sprinting from my hate,
So run as fast as you can.
Oh, for me you wait?
That isn't a good plan.

Leave me behind.
Go and save yourself.
This is my kind
Of punishment for falling off the shelf.

(FYI, by falling off the shelf, I mean being different from "normal" people. )
