Crushed, crushed, crushing The struggle to expand - and my throat is closing again Heat, hot, dry Floats over ribs Seemingly detached Yet hugging me tight Claustrophobic - And this sickness (I'm sick of this sickness) Threatens to rise out Threatens, bubbles, teases But I'm all shut up now Not a whisper to escape Tired. Brain fogs Fingers doze All is fuzzed over All is removed All is discomfort
