It's like the devil has an undying clutch that gets tighter the more I  breathe.
She steals the air around me throwing me into a vaccum, gasping for air.
Flailing my arms in an attempt to hold on to something;

Stop me from ending my life in hopes that by some miracle, God exists and forgives all who sin.
The signs point to a path,
But I can see an exit not far from me,
And its in the opposite direction than the one the world wants me to go...
