Sometimes i can feel it,
creeping under my skin
threatening to not let me
breathe.
I fight it pushing it back
everyday growing weaker
against its power it has over
me.
So far it has always won
I try to outsmart it, but
I’m not the only one that’s
smarter.
I don’t feel it as much anymore
until its to late and over my head
pulling myself to the surface trying to
overcome.

I just need to breathe,
Be me,
Learn to be smarter then it,
and overcome my faults.

*breathe, me, smarter, overcome
