100 Challenge - 10. Breathe

This took me about 4 months to write..

Bloody writers block. I'm back on form I think.

So yes, quickly jotted this down on a coffee break from work, I think it works well.

Taken from variation 2 of the 100 Theme Challenge





10. Breathe


In through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat.
I suck in my cheeks, feeling the flesh roll through my teeth and I bite down. Like a little child I'm having a tantrum and biting the inside of my cheeks calms me. I bite so hard I feel a crunch followed by the rush of warm metallic.
In through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat.
I slam my fist into a wall, tear at my hair, punch my self, I'm squealing in frustration. Never a scream or a wail, always a squeal through gritted teeth. Fat, silly tears are plopping them selves onto my top and my face feels hot.
In through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat.
I'm sat in my chaos, like I've just woken up. My head is throbbing and I can hear blood pound in my ears. I look down an watch my chest slowly rise and fall. In through the nose, out through the mouth. I feel the inside of my cheek, it stings but isn't bleeding anymore, I straighten my hair, rub my fist and get up. In through the nose, out through the mouth, in through the nose, out through the mouth.
