"Don't think about it"
yeah, like that fixes everything
"Just breathe!"
I've been trying to, since the spring.

Full body rage with thorax being chained
followed by my mind, completely drained.

I can't stop it when it start
cause, I'm oblivious how to depart.

It creates a perpetual cycle of
emptiness and fears
and becomes a vicious cycle of
misery and tears.

I feel so numb, I'm smothering me
I end up failing, I'm disappointing me.

Becoming so numb, I could barely breathe
mind playing tricks, my heart giving kicks
I couldn't breathe, anyone just give me some fix.

Diaphragm transmute to ferrous
"You're not going to die"
so stop being an actress.

"Ok, here it comes again"
chanting twice a day,
unconsciously holding the breath
trying not to portray.
