Package Care

I was choking for oxygen
Couldn’t breathe
What happened to me
It is like things came back to the surface
Hurting
Crying pulling out hair
Don’t stare it only makes chains flare
Fire flaming higher falls
Horse running stalls
Stopped
Joined in the lane
Penetrating senses to blame
What game
Never heard of this before
Hold my hand
Secretly through the door
More lies anguish defeat
I was choking for oxygen
Now I have landed on my feet!

This was an experience of how life can sometimes overwhelm how choices can deter reasonable outcomes into a destined situation!
