Desperate Breathe

by HopefulMe

December 4, 2018

Nights in despair

I cried.....I weeped

Hiding in the shell I've created for myself

Unable to listen to what they say

I've locked my heart away

Pushing and shoving

No one understands what they did

Scars run too deep...

For them to fade in a day

I'm laughing at all the stupid pain I felt

Still unsure what I should do

Is it worth it all

I'm deep under all this crap

Wondering if I'll get another breathe

<p>I like the stucture of this one. Good descriptive words and use of commonly used words in conversation (ex. stupid and crap). I like your take on the situation.</p>
