trapped, trapped, trapped
breathless
i
can't
breathe
a song loops in my head
the dreary tune
of some indie song
that weasled its way into my head
stuck in a loop,
playing like the background music to this emotional scene of my own movie.
i can't help it
i sob,
i choke on my
tears and scream silently into my blankets.
help me, help me, help me
i
can't
breathe again
my heart screams i want to get off my bed and leave the prison of my room
but
who was i kidding?
my skin rejected the touch of another
my pride rejected the cajoles of my mother.
my prison was not my room
my prison was me and i refused to let myself out.
please, please, please
i
can't-

trapped, trapped, trapped
breathless
i
can't
breathe
a song loops in my head
the dreary tune
of some indie song
that weasled its way into my head
stuck in a loop,
playing like the background music to this emotional scene of my own movie.
i can't help it
i sob,
i choke on my
tears and scream silently into my blankets.
help me, help me, help me
i
can't
breathe again
my heart screams i want to get off my bed and leave the prison of my room
but
who was i kidding?
my skin rejected the touch of another
my pride rejected the cajoles of my mother.
my prison was not my room
my prison was me and i refused to let myself out.
please, please, please
i
can't-
sometimes, i can't breathe
