Keep it steady
Your pencil drops
Keep it steady
Your voice silences
Keep it steady
Your eyelids snap shut like a
broken
set of blinds, so
Keep it steady
Your never-ceasing 10 lane tumultuous highway of thoughts
dulled,
Until even the worried murmurs of passengers cannot be heard
Keep it steady
Your hand stops twitching
Keep it steady
Your lips purse for a moment then fall
limp. Will they ever move again?
Keep it steady
Your ears feel a sharp pain but then you are enfulged by muted buzzing
Keep it steady
Where did your memories go?
Where did the sanity go?
Keep it steady
Where was it that your pinky finger, shaking, fall?
It fell on the red square that turns off your phone's camera.
You delete all you said.
Everyone is gone.
