Vent

I can’t breathe
What kind of nightmare is this-
Open wound bleeding-
It’s real 
Destiny’s cruel joke.
Supposed to be
Attempting to rectify 
And testify –
Life is one giant Ferris wheel
One step away from disaster
Just when you think calm after the storm-
You’re hit with the news
And subtly choose-
How to master pain and rise above the truth-
But there’s nothing you can do
