I can’t breathe,
I feel like I’m drowning,
I’m suffocating,
My chest is being crushed and squeezed,
I can’t sleep,
My pulse races,
As my heart rapidly beats and bleeds,
I’m paralyzed and numb,
Haunted by memories and by me.
I just want to close my eyes.
and rest in peace.
I’m not as strong as I once was.
