I can’t breathe:
——————-
A vein pulsing
In my brain
The blood’s rushing
To all the wrong places
The nervous system
Breaking down as we speak
Like a slow poison
Dripping down my IV
I can’t breathe
Darkness engulfs me
Simplicity is difficult
Random feelings
Punch me
Plunge me
Chase me
I can’t breathe
Midnights used to be
Comfort time
Now the ghosts are stealing it from me
Videos I used play before I sleep
The virtual drug isn’t working
Immune to everything that helps me
Escape the reality
I can’t breathe
Phantom Tears drown me
Simplicity is difficult
Random feelings
Punch me
Plunge me
Chase me
I can’t breathe
Turn my room into a freezer
Hug a pillow loosely to my chest
Play white noises to quieten
My rampant thoughts
Keeping me awake
I can’t breathe
The poison’s seeped in
I can’t release
The lever to my adrenaline
I can’t breathe
Escape is out of reach
I can’t breathe
No faith can rescue me
I can’t breathe
With people around me
Hyperventilating in a breezy room
Simply is just too difficult
Random feelings
Punch me in the gut
Plunge me in an ice bath
Chase me through day and night ‘til
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
It’s getting lonely
I can’t see
The end to this insanity
