To Breathe....

To breathe 
I yearn to be I 
Unlock the chain that captures 
The walls close in 
I am dead
There is no beauty
Just a watched duty
I find myself taken in dreams
I can see I can feel I am I 
An escape from my calling
Then awake and once again I am crawling
I can not speak no words to be delivered
Numb to the edges 
I am hidden in a vision
Corrosion of emotion
Body of a corpse
A need 
To breathe...

It feels like a suffocation of being one self by others. Deep thoughts leave the reader pondering with this piece Sarah >> James
