patter
patter goes the rain, crashing over my roof and bouncing off the roads i drive over
squeak
squeaking comes from my sweaty palms gripping my steering wheel as if it will save me-
take me away from the reality that sets in more and more with each
honk
honks fill my ears as the light turns green yet i remain dormant.
it is then that i wonder
how did i get here?
shriek
maybe it was my relatives shrieking while i stayed silent or
beep
maybe each beeping alarm that woke me from the only peace i obtained-
the time in which i can escape the
thump
obnoxious thumping of my own heart.
the restlessness must have built up with each attack,
and yet even now i invalidate myself.
creak
my car creaks as i finally arrive, and
thud
the driver-side door thuds as i slam it shut-
it doesn't matter, though, as i won't need that jeep anymore
splash
splashes sound from the weight of more than just my own body,
whoosh
the ocean whooshes as i sink below the surface-
towards the sand at the bottom, and i hear
...
finally, nothing at all.
