Punctured Lungs Give No Air

*shrugs*

Suffocating, my breath,

Is slowly placing itself

Beneath me, beside me;

It won't stay in my lungs.

Crushed, further and further,

Until I feel like I'm just a fraction

Of who I used to be. 

Struggling, but getting nowhere,

Hope failing my hopeless heart.

Fighting for another chance,

Another gift of life, of living

For something more than tomorrow;

Realizing, for once, that this will

Never be anything easy.

Fruitless ideas swarm the brain, 

Take my breathe away,

And all I want is just another

Chance to breathe.
