drowning
barely breathing
struggling to catch my breath
life filling up my lungs
strangling every gasp for air
my chest is tight and getting tighter
my heart continues to pump
ever so slightly growing
with each sporadic beat
i have no room for error
my chest is growing tighter
lungs have no space to expand
every breath is sparse
my face is growing dizzy
no
my head is spinning faster
my mind running in circles
thinking thinking thinking
all the running makes me sick
i cant breathe
my mind is thinking
no don't run in circles
i tell myself
BREATHE
no dont do it
breathing leads to gasping
gasping leads to strangling
strangling leads to
drowning
