I cannot breathe today
I am deprived of light and air
I cannot breathe today
My mind is shut away tight.
A part of me is missing
A part of me is silent, weeping
I cannot breathe today
All my hopes and aspirations
Seem stuck
Stuck in that breath I cannot
Draw in-
I cannot breathe today
Something is misaligned
Whether stars or my diaphragm
Something is not right.
Oh, I hope this is fleeting
I hope my breath comes back
But lately I’ve been struggling
And my breathe seems dead
Dead
Dead
Is that too morbid?
How should I be,
When I cannot
Cannot breathe?

Thank you, I’m glad to hear your thoughts.
Oh Giulia, this is so sad. Was this a panic attack? Or an asthma attack? Your feelings of helplessness are so strong. Sending love x

Thanks Lisa, it’s actually about something else entirely, nothing nearly so dramatic.
