Just Breathe...

Just...

Breathe into your pillow.

Fight another word.

Swallow another argument like a pill of extreme emotions.

Bite your lip 'til it bleeds.

Choke all of your good thoughts.

Say goodnight to sanity.

Point to the painful spots.

Dig your nails into your bed,

My back.

Cry yourself to sleep.

Breathe...

I like the simplicity...how it's just loose thoughts and fragments. It's almost trance-like, and that's always good if it helps the effect of the poetry. And this time I think that it did. Good job. Also, it's cool how the title is distributed at the beginning/end. Kudos..
