Morning burns through emerald leaves, Shadows breathe beneath the trees. Something moves beyond the green… I stop. BOOM… Wet earth beneath my footsteps, Birds disappear into the sky. Two pale eyes inside the jungle… Gone. BOOM… My breath is caught, My fingers freeze. BOOM… Something’s getting closer. BOOM… BOOM… I feel it… BOOM-BOOM… I can feel… My heart… BOOM… Beeeeeeeeeeating… Underneath my skin. Every pulse becomes a warning, Every breath pulls me within. I can feel… My heart… BOOM… Beeeeeeeeeeating… And the silence holds its breath. As long as I can feel it… I am still here. Moonlight cuts across the stone, Something growls beyond the mist. Every shadow seems to know me… I don’t move. BOOM… The jungle breathes against my skin, Nothing moves, but something waits. BOOM… I close my eyes… BOOM-BOOM… And listen. I can feel… My heart… BOOM… Beeeeeeeeeeating… Underneath my skin. Every pulse becomes a warning, Every breath pulls me within. I can feel… My heart… BOOM… Beeeeeeeeeeating… And the silence holds its breath. As long as I can feel it… I am still here. No birds… No wind… Nothing. BOOM. Something stands behind me. BOOM. I could run… BOOM. But I stay. Because now… I know I’m alive. I can feel… My heart… BOOM… Beeeeeeeeeeating… Like a flame beneath the storm. Let the island shake around me… I will face whatever comes. I can feel… My heart… BOOM… Beeeeeeeeeeating… Every pulse beneath my ribs… Tells me… I am still here. Beeeeeeeeeeating… Under my skin… BOOM. Life remains.
