Breathless

Whoops

By kys crysPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I am left breathless

Dazed and confused as to what it is

What is it that fills my lungs with water

That plays my heart beat through my veins

What is it that echoes my thoughts through actions

That sends me shivers while I sweat

What is it that prompts thoughts to pound

That causes my body to tremble

What is it that steals my control

That promotes fear of myself

I am left breathless

Lost and hopeless as to what it is

What is it that draws my stare towards the knife

That suppresses my chances of getting better

What is it that longs for feeling

That conceals my smile

What is it that considers impossibilities

That creates illusions that seem so real

What is it that I worry about

That makes me so afraid

What is it

That stresses me

I am left breathless
