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
