Suffocate Poems


Suffocate

Everyday I die a little more inside,
But my heart is on my sleeve,
So tears that pour from it drip,
Until I’m gasping for air, I’m drowning
As life moves forward 
Im left searching through memories
Self analyzing, criticizing, profiling
Demoralized by how I got here. 
Who was I? Who did I let ruin my life? 
Anxiety and depression I

Thinking Outside of the Box-Buzzwords

"Thinking outside of the box keeps you from suffocating inside of one."Matshona Dhliwayo
Thinking Outside Of The Box-buzzwords

The four tall walls
Suffocate me.
I can no longer,
Breathe.

I kick and scream and cry
I need the light
Please, I beg.
Oh, I beg.

Rocking in the corner, 
I see the light I so crave
I run and run and run
Never looking back again

Once the

Premium MemberIt Started With a Cigarette

In the end it was the smoke that brought them down.

The flames they could see, the fire they could hear,

so they ran and ran until they could run no more.

Smoke was everywhere and from within its grasp

they could no longer see a way to the air.

The harder they ran the harder they breathed

and the more

Suffocate Me

Seep slowly into my core
it’s you I desperately adore
filling my soul with wonder.

Suffocate me on this night
ominous mist of dark delight
deep trance I’ve fallen under.

Slowly blind me with your lies
so surely sweet intention dies
this mind is cast asunder.

Does this truly thus portend
an aching dying sorry end?
your spell I’ve fallen under.

Thus my promise laid to waste
surely

Premium MemberMagazines Suffocate Me

Magazines suffocate me in my sleep
They chase me down, they make me weep.
They cover my mouth, I cannot breathe.
They call me names, they will not leave.

Read me! Each demands in a haughty way.
They taunt me in my dreams all day.
They press up against my mouth and nose.
They whip me with a garden hose.

They chase me

Exhiliarate and Should Suffocate

Our energy has caused us all to exhilarate,
Once all the Trump supports will suffocate,
They have resigned;
Removed from mind,
While what they do with devil is to negotiate.

choking the room bitterly
an embarrassment
carefully tromping through it
side-stepping junk gingerly

My pack rack eye-tis
surrounds me untidily
disturbing eyesore
jumping over largest pile
not inviting company

Premium MemberSuffocate This Monster

Suffocate this monster come, 
Come! 
Touch me, inhabit me, 
Protect me like a precious wine. 
Kiss me, breathe me, 
Hold me tight. 
What I would not endure, to travel the length your body one more time. 
I would drown in waves that come to cool this fever that I have for you. 
I stand naked

Suffocate Me Slowly

Smoke fills the car 
As you gasp for one last breath.
Unable to give your lungs
That much needed fresh air.
You slowly fade into the blackness.
As much as you wanted this, your body fights on.
Balancing on life's tightrope, you teeter 
Between consciousness and the void of nothingness.
What will mom think?
Will she blame herself for not seeing the

Suffocate

It’s tight no room to breathe
Baby brother crying
Big bro and friends getting high
Sister’s tucked away in her room with her boyfriend
Always being sent home from school
Being high is the new norm
And his mom
Her mother
She’s the mom who regularly sniffles like she has a cold
Sometimes he wonders if she even knows her role
He can’t recollect the

Breathe, Suffocate

velvet tears slip down my cheek.

a gentle cry.

and the wet drops seep in the corners of my mouth

until

my lungs are full of my own salty, crystalline tears,

bringing buoyancy to boats that sail inside my veins.

as a rule, I try not to cry.

if a single tear is shed, who is to say that another will not

Suffocate

With you it doesn’t ever matter
Who’s wrong or who’s right
You will purposefully cause trouble
Just to pick a stupid fight
On word will set you off
And then you push with all your might
You put your hands around my neck
I feel my throat get so tight
I kick and scream and beg
For you to let go of your grip

Suffocate

So far when you so close is how I feel 
United can’t say we are 
For you I would do anything
Forget all those haters
Occasionally they are just going to have to get over it
Can you resist the feeling of been apart
Are you not feeling like you can’t breathe
Tel me girl tell me you love and
