Breathe

Building up and drowning me

these emotions

I need

to breathe

Yet

Discouraging and suffocating my emotions

these people

I need

to breathe

Still

Building up and drowning me these

emotions I need

to breathe

Yet

Discouraging and suffocating my emotions

these people I need

to breathe

Still

Building up and drowning me these emotions

I need to breathe

Yet

Discouraging and suffocating my emotions these people

I need to breathe

Still

 

Every breath I take with this poetry releases the emotions that I've held back

until I tighten my chest and they burst out and they overflow past lines and

lines until I wonder how much I can bear until

 

I need to breathe but 

 

Carefully

 

Still

 

Inhale

 

Exhale

 

Controlled

 

Filtered

 

until I can mak it back to my poetry breath flow
