My words are asphyxiating            I cant understand the weight upon me. I didn't deserve this,                    you kneel on           me like a ill treated dog.. Do I bark, no..                  I plead for your humanity, but you just stare with emotionless eyes.. Who cares if I cant breathe, me..            my family, a daughter ill never see,                        but you just ignore... Its not fair that I'll never hold her again,               close to my slowing breath... Could anyone help me, they just sleep..    until I cant breath...        Who cares if I cant breathe... the flickering of racism shown                    to burn brighter than my last breath.. I matter, I lived, i died. but know that i couldn't  breathe...                                       and it matters, Mum.....

I Can't Breathe
