Sometimes, I start to hurt just enough To where I feel nothing at all. Sometimes, My lungs feel like They're filled with fire. Burning me from the inside out. Sometimes, My poor, fragile heart Takes one too many hits, And beats toxic blood. Sometimes, I can feel the memory Of the once vibrant and beautiful Butterflies that used to reside within me. But now they're just Gone. Sometimes, I can't breathe. Sometimes, I can't see the beauty In breathing. Sometimes, I absolutely... Cannot... Breathe.

Sometimes I Can't Breathe (p. 3)
Sometimes, I start to hurt just enough To where I feel nothing at all. Sometimes, My lungs feel like They're filled with fire. Burning me from the inside out. Sometimes, My poor, fragile heart Takes one too many hits, And beats toxic blood. Sometimes, I can feel the memory Of the once vibrant and beautiful Butterflies that used to reside within me. But now they're just Gone. Sometimes, I can't breathe. Sometimes, I can't see the beauty In breathing. Sometimes, I absolutely... Cannot... Breathe.
This is the final part of one of my favorite poems. I was in a very bad place when I wrote this and I remember crying while writing it. It made me feel so much better, and I hope reading it will make someone else feel better. Parts 1 and 2 are on my profile if you would like to read the entire poem. Thank you!
