Analysis of Borderline

Kali G 1985 (Kentucky)



The silence is deafening
the monsters return
my brain goes dark
my body goes numb,
my heart beats faster
my throat closes up
my eyes fill with tears

It invades all my senses
it makes me feel sick
nausea stirs in my stomach
my head starts to hurt
I feel like it's ending
I feel like happiness
will never return
