Breathe
Breathe can’t breathe
Sleep can’t sleep
Eat can’t eat
Water need water, I’m choking
Breathe can’t breathe
Shaking hands
Tight chest
Heart in my throat
White spots
Ears ringing
Body all numb
Water why am I under water, I’m drowning
Not drowning suffocating
Suffocating under the weight
The weight of life
Listen I scream
Please I beg and plead
Someone take the weight
But they just watch me in such a state
Watch me hit my knees
Knees already bruised from trying to get god to hear
To hear the pain
To hear my fear
All for it to fall on deaf ears
Silent voice hidden in shadow
The voices have taken over.
