there’s always a hum
under my ribs
half panic
half melody
I press a hand to my chest
like that’s gonna tune it
the rhythm stutters
lungs misfire
fingers tremble on invisible keys
and I swear I can hear it
that sharp wrong note
inside me
gettin louder
til it hurts to breathe
Powerfully penned, twofiftythree. Been there a time or two. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

appreciate you
That kind of pressure and pain would be hard to deal with every day. Good spill
thank you
Kinda feels like a panic attack but slightly more subtle than those tend to be. Such strong feeling in this write. It’s evocative.
yeah…was supposed to have that kinda panic attack feel. appreciate it.
Great personification in this.
Feeling out of tune can feel stifling.
thank you. sure as hell can.
