i can't breathe

there's too much air.

i can't breathe

there's darkness everywhere.

i can't breathe

i'm really, really scared.

i can't breathe

the pain in my chest only seems to flare.

i can't breathe

why is life so unfair?

i can't breathe

i can barely inhale, as if air was rare

i can't breathe

my heart is heavy, is it ensnared?

i can't breathe

but you don't care.
