Breathless
Everything is bottled up inside until
I can’t take it anymore, I can’t
Breathe,
There isn’t enough air,
Everything around me is
Falling, the wind
Blowing and I’m
Suffocating.
The words are stuck inside my head, constantly
Swirling, like a storm trying to
Break.
All the pain, all the sadness,
Everything I want to say,
Is locked away. Only silence
Can have its way.
My mouth is open but
No words come out,
I am screaming but
There is no sound, I am
Crying, but
There are no tears;
I am alone inside my head and I can’t
Breathe.
