Breathe

Breathe can’t breathe Sleep can’t sleep Eat can’t eat Water need water, I’m choking Breathe can’t breathe Shaking hands Tight chest Heart in my throat White spots Ears ringing Body all numb Water why am I under water, I’m drowning Not drowning suffocating Suffocating under the weight The weight of life Listen I scream Please I beg and plead Someone take the weight But they just watch me in such a state Watch me hit my knees Knees already bruised from trying to get god to hear To hear the pain To hear my fear All for it to fall on deaf ears Silent voice hidden in shadow The voices have taken over.
