I can't breathe anymore
My chest feels tight, my lungs are sore
The weight of this world, I can't ignore
I'm suffocating, down to my core
Every breath feels like a fight
Gasping for air, with all my might
But the weight of this pain, it feels too tight
I can't escape, try as I might
The pressure builds, it's hard to cope
I feel like I'm drowning, with no hope
My body aches, my muscles rope
This pain, I can no longer elope
I try to find a way to breathe
But my lungs are filled, with sorrow and grief
It's hard to find peace, even in sleep
For this heaviness, it runs too deep
I used to feel alive, with every breath
But now it's a struggle, just to take a step
The weight of the world, it feels like death
I can't seem to escape, this feeling of unrest
I try to speak, but no words come out
My voice is silenced, by this suffocating doubt
It's hard to find clarity, when my mind's clouded with drought
I'm lost in this darkness, and I can't find a route
I miss the days when I could breathe with ease
When the air was light, and life was a breeze
But now it's a struggle, just to exist
This heaviness, I can't seem to resist
I look for a cure, but there's no relief
This weight on my chest, it's beyond belief
I try to find comfort, in simple things
But this pain, it's too heavy to fling
I long for the days, when I could breathe without fear
When my heart was light, and my mind was clear
But now it's a battle, just to take a breath
This weight on my chest, it's like a black hole, I'm caught in its depth
I try to escape, but there's nowhere to run
This feeling of suffocation, it's like a loaded gun
I'm trapped in this cycle, of struggle and pain
I can't seem to break free, from this heavy chain
I miss the days when I could breathe without strain
When my lungs weren't filled, with this heavy rain
But now I'm drowning, in this ocean of despair
I can't seem to find my way, out of this thick, suffocating air
I try to fight, but my strength is gone
This pain, it's been with me for too long
I'm tired of struggling, just to take a breath
I can't keep going, this feeling of suffocation, it's brought me to my death
I can't breathe anymore, I'm suffocating in this life
This weight on my chest, it's like a never-ending knife
I wish for peace, but it seems so far away
This suffocating feeling, it's here to stay
I long for the days, when I could breathe with ease
When my heart was light, and my mind was at peace
But now I'm suffocating, in this heavy, heavy air
I can't seem to escape, this feeling of despair
I can't breathe anymore, but I'll keep fighting
I won't let this pain, leave me drowning and sinking
I'll find a way, to break free from this weight
And once again, I'll be able to breathe, and feel truly great.
