breathe

im drowning in a life

that often doesn't

feel like it

belongs to me

it is mine but

i share it with so many

as my lungs fill

i try to breathe through

the gulps of water

i feel the weight of it

lift away

i want to stay

here and let the water

take over me

butterfly

what is a butterfly?

at best

he's but a caterpillar dressed.

~Benajmin Franklin

heavy days

these days hurt

they are heavy

and my heart hangs low

it hurts too much

i can feel walls closing

around me

deep breathes become

harder to take

each moment

lasts for hours

regrets pass through

my mind

not knowing tomorrow

makes today harder
