I can't breathe

Tight, pushing, aching

Something in my throat, in my lungs

Begging to escape

Pounding on the walls of my trachea 

So I try to breathe

Sharp, heavy, deep breaths

Sucking in all the air, but it's never enough

It's never enough for me

Taking all there is, and it just makes me dizzy

It makes me so dizzy

It makes the walls twist and warp, and I fall over from it all

I just want to breathe

When will this go away?
