She could’t breathe She hated the pills that caused temporary relief and now the last bit of air was crushed under the surface of a way too big depression People around her saw the mask she put on and although the person behind is was crumbling into little pieces they kept smiling at her like she was a statue finally found after years of being stolen She made sure people knew she was as strong as that piece of brick She made pain a friendly visitor and love a daily struggle After years of suffering in silence she started to believe the lie she used as glue for her masks Her pain became a crown and love became something to run from But now her air was being stolen and she couldn’t fight back anymore Years of holding the ball underwater made her arms sore and now her bones started to snap like sticks It was clear who was winning the battle She started finding peace in the thought of the everlasting darkness She couldn’t breathe And for the first time in years she stopped gasping for air

Stolen breaths
She could’t breathe She hated the pills that caused temporary relief and now the last bit of air was crushed under the surface of a way too big depression People around her saw the mask she put on and although the person behind is was crumbling into little pieces they kept smiling at her like she was a statue finally found after years of being stolen She made sure people knew she was as strong as that piece of brick She made pain a friendly visitor and love a daily struggle After years of suffering in silence she started to believe the lie she used as glue for her masks Her pain became a crown and love became something to run from But now her air was being stolen and she couldn’t fight back anymore Years of holding the ball underwater made her arms sore and now her bones started to snap like sticks It was clear who was winning the battle She started finding peace in the thought of the everlasting darkness She couldn’t breathe And for the first time in years she stopped gasping for air
