influence


Crushing adversary of emotions in my chest,

I feel you pushing through with intentions unknown.

They leave me frightened;

knowingly I trick myself.

Others think, 

I merely breath in the soup of their thoughts.

I fear I cant see my own choice.

I feel a lack of breath;

choke myself in impossible options.
