Peek-a-boo

Hot pink! Electric green. Neon blue. Rainbow vomit,everywhere! My eyes are blinded by all the bright colors. Closed eyes, I still see it just like it was two minutes ago. Soft music plays in the background. On the ceiling, a heart mobile hangs. The glitter glistens against the light. The felt hearts barely move. My heart races. The air is stale now. Frozen with sweat. Time ticks. I blink and space blurs, focusing on a photo. I'm laughing with my two best friends. The sun kisses my skin as
we joke about easier times. The river behind us is inviting. A line of sweat drips down my face. My knees become weak, I need to sit. The floor is chilling compared to my flooded palms. I'm relived for a moment, chased with a overwheming flash of heat. My heart is throbbing. My head aches. Pounding noises ring in my head. The pressure is too much. I think back to a vacation months back. Staring into the ocean horizon, my thoughts were empty but meaningful. Waves crashing against my feet as I walked towards the end of earth. Pain goes away with each step. Worries subside as my mind is filled with peace. A smile finds a way to my mouth. It's cracked and seeping bigger. A giggle sneaks out. I remember when you thought you could change me. Laughing like a fresh joke was in the air. I've simply lost my mind. Twirling, spashling water, and collecting all the cream. If the candy man can, I can too.
