Can’t Breathe

A Poem

By Michelle DionPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I don’t feel anything anymore at times I’m

empty and broken and feel unalive I can’t

explain it it just doesn’t feel right when my

chest tightens up and the focus from my eyes

goes out of sight.

I forget to breathe then forget to stop crying the

tears run on my face and I can’t make sense

anymore so I wrestle with my mind till I can’t

try to find a way to keep living then I shut off

my mind.

With emotions all gone and my insides being

dead I go straight to bed with the thought in

my head maybe I won’t wake up tomorrow

maybe I’ll finally be ok and no one will worry

bout mistakes that I’ve made and no one will

care when the problems resolved I’ll be gone

and won’t feel nothing at all.

It’d be great it’d be best till someone asks bout

stress and to help undo the right knot in my

chest and I hesitate and linger with my thumb

and my finger on the line for the trigger but I

can’t pull it now cuz there’s more people to

please that try to tear me down.

The princess opens ur eyes in this one
