I Can't Breathe

try to put some words together
Try to express this feeling inside
The more I try to stuff it down
The more I feel the need to hide.

I can’t seem to breathe
Every heartbeat takes away my breath
And my mind keeps calling out to me
Let’s have a visit with Death.

I can’t help but to think
Morbid thoughts that run through my head
Forget about their pain tonight
Remember what he said

You have to fight for you
Your daughter needs your love
Try to forget about your past
And the nightmares you dream of.

Cover up your cuts
They are only a part of who you are
Stop picking open your wounds
Just let them heal and scar.

But what am I to do with emptiness
When it becomes a black hole
Sucking the fun out of everything
Taking over every bit of control

How do I fight for air
When my lungs are filled with sorrow
Looking forward only to see the past
Forgetting about tomorrow

Tell me, what am I to do
When the world around me turns black
Trying to preserve what I’ve lost
But there is no turning back.
