Breathe!

I know you have stopped and listened To the words hurled at you From both your loved ones and strangers Lies that when believed became true Don’t lie and tell me you haven’t We’ve all been there at least once, When everyone around you points and whispers Daggers that go straight for the heart I know for a fact you’ve felt it The feeling of your lungs losing air Breathe coming in short uneven gasps As voices starts to drown you, “So unfair!” I’ll be honest dear, I’ve been there Still is, to be completely clear And all I can say to you who is reading this “I really just want to breathe!”
