Heartbeat

My heart beating steadily within my chest

Suddenly speeds up and shows no sign of slowing down

Hearing my wife and her colleagues pleas is too much to bear

All I can feel is my blood rushing into every part of my body

Making me feel more alive than before

All I can do is pace back and forth

All the while driving my teammates and myself slowly insane

I feel so helpless as I pace back and forth digging myself into a larger hole

All the while feeling my neverending anger rise within me

As I fear for the safety of my wife who is the mother of my kids
