Breathe
Inhale, Exhale, I feel strangled by my lungs
At a gasp they rise and fall, But I was once standing tall
Suddenly an earthquake of shock jolts through my knees
I scream and I scream, but I forgot how to breathe
Suffocation when I hold my breath, “Its okay”
And “youll be fine” makes me feel closer and closer to death
Blinking lights and Internal fights make me feel like im going insane
A flood of thoughts rushing through my adolescent brain
I open my eyes and hit my head but I dont feel any pain
BREATHE.. Says the nurse and a crowd of eyes fade to two
And my body is numb with the colors of purple and blue.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety but this is a specific instance where it has gotten really bad and thats what Breathe is about understanding its okay to not be happy all the time you are allowed to have emotions and feelings and I have had to come to terms with that myself through working on myself and my mental health and it's something I think everyone should make time for because in the end you are your own enemy and bestfriend
