Keep Breathing

The heat from the little air 

that is coming into my body

is making lungs burn

slowly feeling suffocated

with little gasps, keep breaking. 

Walking above the earth

but feeling buried alive.

Emotions and thoughts

are crowded all around me.

Anxiety that I have never felt

flowing through my veins.

Forward, keep breathing. 

Feel life is leaving me.

The pushing, pulling.

Skin is tingling with numbness.

Insides are collapsing.

Each step forward has resistance

however the only action I know,

keep breathing.
