Broke the Habit

They say habits can be broken in twenty-one days
I was trying to find a new habit but you weren’t phased 
At all the damage you caused
I forgot to breathe- my chest aches
Now i am going to breathe again soon-
When my lungs are full and I open my mouth
Do not tell me to sing for you 
Because I learned is how
to scream.
