The End Trauma, Delusion

Have you ever felt that second before the end of your life? 
Have you ever been tempted to feel that pain? 
Have you ever held your breath under water, long enough to suffocate; but come up in that last second?
Have you ever been so angry you wrap your hands around your throat and press your thumbs on your esophagus; and stopped at that last second?
Were you held under water, did you fight it? 
Were you choked, did you like it? 
You didn't fight it: gunpoint.
You didn't like it: crying.
And no one believed you... 
The flashbacks and now you're insane.

Lynn Marie September 15, 2017 at 10:58 PM The details and questions gave me chills, your words sharp and defiant feel to be challenging, demanding answers so one knows they are not 'insane', not the 'only one'. The line: "And no one believed you..." just made my heart sink. An emotive, powerful write Alex. The title is so well suited to the subject and though difficult to read, from a purely writing perspective, you have penned emotions that read as vivid as if on a marquee spotlight billboard. Enjoy a wonderful weekend Alex:) Alexandria Grace September 19, 2017 at 7:38 AM Thank you very much Lynn! It really means a lot!
