Air

I breathe slowly and with few between.

I guess I never asked for air but I am still bleeding.

The water fills my lungs slowly,

I guess this is just how it’s meant to be.

Separated from the rest.

Feeling like a whole damn mess.

This isn’t the best for me,

But maybe if I try I can see clearly.

The air is too thick to breathe.

It fills my lungs to where it cannot be.

If I take one more breath of this air I might just fall right,

There.

The earth is spinning round and round,

But my screams don’t seem to make a sound.

If no one’s there then did it even happen, darling?

Is this too hardening?

Don’t wanna put this all on you,

But I can’t take it anymore, it’s true.

It is just too hard for me,

To allow this hole to keep sinking.

This air seems too heavy to breathe.

I wonder if it’s all because I wouldn’t be,

Who you want me to

Who you want me to

Do I need you?

Green Circle Spins

Round and round it goes When will it stop? The colour of grass and lime Make my skin as white as the snow That falls oh how heavily On the patchy gravel roads The money paid doesn’t getaway From the cracks and holes spotted daily Or the roadkill on the sidewalks As I walk down […]

This is a piece about first days of school, but this piece could still apply in many other challenging scenarios.
