Lungs

I gasp for air, as I feel my lungs collapse.

I reach out my hands to grab ahold

to keep myself from drowning

in this sea of my emotions and thoughts.

Lose I am, trying to make sense

make peace from within.

Little by little, I feel my hair raise

as it consumes me whole.

Consumes my thoughts, soul & emotions

till I am left with a painted canvas.

All in black, The darkness,

it has consumed me once more.

Lay the sheet over my face

so you can mourn my loss.

Loss of my own sense of self

left with only what consumed me,

slowly eating me away till I disappear.

Disappear into the air I gasp for

Drown into this sea that won't keep me afloat.

I wait, I wait to find peace.

Peace from within.
