Drowning Inside



Every breath..each next it struggles..so..
To best me...I cannot trust..if..it is not..as..
Feet rest upon my chest..pushing down..
My heart squeezes..in vein..blue blood..it..
Pools..pushed back out..unexcepted..now..
Chambers labor..to birth red..thick are they..
It's short circle..back to the lung..grows long..
Breathing so labored..you hold it..hoping the...
Heart will not notice...you cough..when body..
Swells..eating nothing..drinking your self..up..
Holding..inside the air..light flickers..spotted..

iip: did you know that within drown... there is row... always the capacity to row row row your boat gently out of dreams... tis another classic: keep righting them one peace at a time....

I have been through this before many. many times. I not only died a thousand deaths by my abusers, but I was drowning in my own self pity. You have written a very heart breaking piece that tells what a person goes through when they are troubled more so than most people. Thank you for sharing. A 10+++++. Love & hugs, Barbara
