Internal Breathing

Internal Breathing.

Can you see me breathing?
Can you see me touching the ground?
Can you see me through the dark?

Can you, can you, can you...

See that I am breathing, my heart is beating, my ears are bleeding, my soul is leaking. There is so much pain that i do not know how I am breathing?
Am I dreaming?
Am I really breathing internally through my nose!

I feel lost in space without me knowing the sound that my heart is making when it is beating. I don't think I can breath, I need to breath, I cannot see out of one eye, I think I'm going to die. 

You are apart of me and I am apart of thee.

Can you hear this rhythmic breathing?
Can you hear this gasping that I am attempting to breath?

Is it something I'm the air?
I think it is coming from under my bed?
I think it coming from inside of my head!

MOTHER I AM UNEVEN! I HAVE INTERNAL BREATHING, I FEEL UNEVEN, I CAN FEEL MY HEART BEATING, MY SOUL IS LEAKING, AND MY BRAIN IS DREAMING.
