Troublesome Organ

Tha-thumb… Tha-thump… Tha-thump

Over and over again. This rhythmic beating brings life to your body

Thrashing in your chest, it hurts of all your heart ache

It tumbles into your gut, making you feel nauseous and insure

You gag and it scurries up to your throat, making each breath a struggle, forcing you to gasp for air

It invades your skull, pulsing…attempting to get out. Each time it beats you feel your head is about to split open

This thing that brings you life, also causes great pain no matter where it nests.

Each heart beat hurts… as if it pumps fiery ashes through your veins

Tha-thump… Tha-thump… Tha-thump

What do you choose? The pain that the beating of the heart promises, or do you let the fear snuff out your light?
