While the vines of your presence constrict my lungs and won't let me breathe
I try to calm my poor beating heart and set myself free
One more day
One more week
One more month
Don't give up on trying
Why won't you let me be?
Even if you keep pulling me back in the same cold depths
I am still trying to defy you
You just keep on spinning that same web
Why won't you let me go?
Am I not human in your eyes?

A short poem about trying to set yourself free from someone who keeps pulling you in for attention and keeping you in emotional limbo, treating you as if you are not human.
