Suffocating

Unable to sleep so I write. 

Unable to share , so I keep quiet. 

Slightly suffocating under my skin

Wrapping me up, wearing me thin. 

Close my eyes and  it happens all over again

Try staying busy to ignore the pain. 

I'm suffocating...

Where's the knife to cut a hole

To help me breath when it's tightly pulled

Across my face, I cannot breathe

Across my body, I can't break free

I'm suffocating...

Walking trough the water, I cry

Feeling the water up my thigh

I rip at it all that keeps chaining me down

I tear it apart until I fall to the ground...

Breathing.... 

The sand at me feet, pulling me in

Grabbing and tugging at my shins; 

The water lays across my legs

Helping me sink into the waves.

I'm suffocating. 

Taunting, haunting

It's wearing me down

Tightly pulling me 

To the ground...

I'm suffocating.
