i put plastic wrap around my insides
to keep everything together
when i’m falling apart
sometimes it’s too tight around my lungs
i cant breathe...

I think of you with every breath I take.

My every breath is a thought of you.

  . . . and it’s not the air everywhere,


It’s you I breathe; it’s You....

a silent killer
undetected by victims
until they cant breathe

a silent killer
undetected by many
escaping through mask

a silent killer
of social satisfaction
Covid 19...

Its so hard for me
To see you
When you cant breathe
I help the help
Fight the cause
For we are all alive
And in this together
Never forget the pain
And how you grew
Apart from my brain...

Why did she do such a thing
How much pain it brings
It feels like I cant breathe
But she does still love me 
And I love her 
Though it is hard to 
It could be worse 
Because now she is free...

I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 But still your knees are on my neck
 Pleas are ignored, my fate is sealed
 I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 Death will result from this ordeal
 Is there a pulse?, too late to check
 I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 But still your knees are on my neck...

I cant sleep without you by my side.
Cant breathe without your voice in my head.
Your surrounding me,
and i dont mind.
The world seems brighter,
gripping your hand tighter.
I sigh in bliss,
i wanna be your miss.
One day.
I should be with you,
you want me too.
Gasping, moaning, loving.
No not intimate,
just being near you,
Being dear to,
You...

I'm drowning
in the deep blue sea
the water is
swallowing me up
making me go deeper
and deeper.

I cant breathe
the water is in my
nose
my throat.

I'm trying to scream
for help
but nothing comes
out.

I start to lose my
breath
getting tired of
fighting
certain that I will
die soon. 

and you're standing
3 feet away
screaming
"LEARN HOW TO SWIM!"...

I can'T breathe

John Vorster Square
Steve "Bantu" Biko 

Many a freedom fighter

Paid the ultimate price and
died in police custody

But all poor

George Floyd

Seemed to be fighting for

Was

AIR

The right to Breathe

Not to become a Martyr

For any person be he black or white

will you still love me 
when its three in the morning 
and im crying so hard i cant breathe?
will you still love me 
when i coat my pillows in mascara 
because i decided to remind myself 
how worthless i am?
will you still love me 
when i shut you out 
and wont explain to you whats wrong
because i dont want to bring you down?
will you still love me 
when i cant handle being strong
and i find relief in razors
instead of your arms?...

When I see you
I cant breathe

When I see you
I cant think

When I see you
Should I say hello?

When I see you
I would walk very slow..

And here is what I do.. when I see you

Everytime I see your face
I got scared and I dont know what to say
Is it because of your friends?
I used to like being with you but not with them

So when I see you
I feel strange

I dont know why but I look away

That what happens when I see you ......

I can’t breathe
Don't you hear the pleas?
I cant breath
We still aren't free,
I can’t breathe
society judged by skin pigmentation.
I can’t breathe
What’s wrong with our nation?
I can’t breathe
Don't you hear his pleas?
I cant breathe 
Hatred and discrimination is what we see.
I can’t breathe 
We are not equal, we are not free.
I can’t breathe
Unarmed black men and boys being shot down.
I can’t breathe
Injustice in America, injustice all around....

I hear you cant breathe,
pollution and smog,
i read your in desperate need,
of the help we truly dodge;
i feel your shield is leaving,
the sun will burn us soon,
leaving us earth less,
we are facing a silent doom,
i see your extremity,
weather changing by sunrise,
earthquakes,volcano's& rising tides;
i see your not well; 
earth what is it i see? 
i hear you can breathe
no trees,oxygen thick in a fog
i leave this letter with wishes
or the merciful help from GOD....

just like climbing into warm covers,
after a nice long shower.
when i get a hug from you,
its as if i'm counting down the hours.
no, it was only a couple weeks ago that we saw one another,
yet you hug as if you haven't seen me in forever.
you squeeze tight,
not so much that i cant breathe.
it maybe just be in my head,
but it seems as though you just don't want to leave.
i do know you hear,
the hugs from you will cease to end.
so i keep that in mind,
until next time my friend....
