Dec 2023
I took a deep breath once
Let it fill in all the cavities of my lungs
Prayed to God that it would be enough
To float me into space
But yet I stay

Kept it all in my lungs
Until the pressure on my chest
Became the only thing I felt

Let it constrict and collapse

If I were to die
I wanna die with this single breath
Lodged in my throat
I wanna see white with my eyes close
Let life slip with every exhale

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
Until it holds you
