I'm Here, I'm Alive
August 19, 2017
It feels like I don't have enough air to suck in
that my lungs aren't full and I'm trying to grasp onto something that possibly isn't there, nothing is there
I'm sucking in air that isn't filling my lungs
I'm grinding my teeth together
My chest hurts from trying to release the weight of tears streaming down my face
I'm screaming inside and out, and I don't know what to do
My pillow stained with my tears
My face flushed with heat from my anger held in
Sadness from a lifeline I did not receive
