Oh, the dread that builds inside
Sucking down and decapitating hope.
The test is soon, let the pain go free...
The test is soon, let the hope in...
But you failed to do so,
Dread builds in your bones.
It builds in your veins.
It whispers bitter nothings to you.
Calm, calm, and breathe.
Take no thought, just breathe.
In and out, chest rises and falls.
Calming breaths, hope returns.
