Tearless Weeping

Tearless Weeping

Shallow breathing
	Can I breathe?
Control my environment?
Lest the alternative, recluse, seclusion
	This is living death for me
Unacceptable, incapacitating
	Hell on Earth!
	Eternal fire, would be kinder
A nice change
	Physical Pain, I am Alive, I feel! 
Shallow breathing
	Can I breathe?
No reindeer games’, Clench my teeth
			UP!
		It
Suk
If not me, than who? 
	Exactly
Shallow breathing
	I must adapt to the world	
	For it will not change for me
Deep breathing
The alternative, not acceptable
I WILL BREATH
