one, two, three, four.

blink blink and blink again

i only feel on the floor

seven eight nine ten

You're staring,

Fuck. Now try again

Seven eight nine ten

try to think of something fun

Eleven, twelve

On this bus ride from hell

Thirteen

God i wish i could flee the scene

Fourteen

Against the window I lean

Fifteen

Bzz..bzz. In my ear it rings

Count back down and stop at ten

God, I wish I could breathe again.

Nine, eight, seven

Bus rides would be much enjoyable in heaven

Six, five

4 is the number of people I need to thrive

Three.

Two.

One.

Breathe.

And count again.
