Darkness
It breeds in my chest
Suffocating
The light
It's hard
Suffering every ragged breath
Knowing
You're gone
MY surrealism
is my sanity
Normality is
that disease
suffocating
expression &
artistic freedom!

Darkness
bleak emptiness
blanketing the sunlight
suffocating the lively air

love
warm exciting
inviting enticing intoxicating
suffocating down grading instigating
cold vengence
hate
Controlled to extremes
Unable to move
Without you leering at me
I slowly starve of reality
Of air
Suffocating
Drowning
'Me'
Dies
The silence surrounds me.
It’s deafening.
The emptiness that fills the room,
is suffocating.
All alone.
I sit and wait.
For something more.
The noose is loose
by our choice we choose
consequence suffocating
failure of our inner relating
We hang in the balance of our own rope.......
another deep breath
of suffocating air
passes the lump in my throat...
I offer a Kleenex
to the woman beside me
The Universe loves me.
Darkness adores me.
Suffocating me to sleep,
submerging me in incandescent dreams...
...where Light never fades.
I'm surrounded by them
suffocating
lip drooling
vapid
dangerous
distress from disorder
the devil in a bad man's suit
they are coming
they are here
I am suffocating
I can't breathe
I am choking
I can't see
I can't move
I am scared
Is this real
Is this a dream
I cant scream
Someone wake me up
Why did it always feel so devastating
As each new flame I was tenderly holding
Faded away before my heart blackening
From smoke and mirrors, while suffocating.
listen closely
you'll hear it too
something deep inside
is suffocating
trying to survive
struggling
gasping for air
for love
for truth

The emptiness can be suffocating.
The happiness can be depressing.
The victory can be defeating.
The longing can be fulfilling.
You ask me if life is ironic?
Is it ever.
caned by suffocating
stiff of blood
our brothers go to
cages
leaves fall on my skin
ardent love
indomitable spirit
hormones
of love
dissipate extinguish
like a comet

i’m not lonely
i’m just so alone i feel trapped with myself
a claustrophobic in a padded room
but in all reality it’s just my own thoughts suffocating me
again this silence
between
me and myself
suffocating
in this room
everything
is
and
everything
isn't
I hear
somewhere
a thought
breaking.

Hope
Dwindles
Changing course
Of time and space
With glacial winds suffocating my whole
And absence of color within the snow
With the harshness
Of yearning
Dwindles
Hope.
An onyx fog
encompasses me
suffocating
drawing closer
blinding me
can't breathe
can't see
can't think
I reach
for my pen
my fingers
brush the metal
but it's just
out of my reach
I thought you were the light in the sky,
really, you were the darkness swallowing me whole.
Your dark poison consumed me,
You were suffocating me, how could I have not seen that?
free at last, a sigh escaped the lonely void of space that engulfed them

It consumes me
Black tornado
Forever spinnig down
Holding me in its grasp
No one can help me
All alone
Darkness surrounding me
Slowly closing in
Suffocating me
Walls around me
Its 3 am
and the voices are loud.
Remember how you told me
that i am not alone?
what about now?
At 3 am
I am alone,
suffocating on the words
that my demons inside
preach to me.
You are art.
You are a fiber in this woven world.
Held together by our capitalist coffees and our racist roads,
You are a flower blooming in the suffocating smog.
You are hope.

Darkness closes in on me suffocating me
Thoughts of self-harm and death are always on my mind
Nightmares and day-mares never seem to cease
Always there reminding me that it wasn't meant to be
