Learn How to Breathe

Camie Doll

go to bed hungry, your nightmares await,
the bleeding wont stop now, the story's in vain,
you test me, Im crying, reach out to air,
breathing, decieving, you've never really cared,
endless and writing, the words sometimes flow,
painful the aching, it's time now to go,
walk through the tunnel, searching for light,
keep walking and walking, black as the night,
my heart speeds its beating, can't breathe in this space,
taken by anxiety, lost in this place,
losing control, I stumble, I bleed,
race to see who's best, it's you that i need,
Can't stay alive on my own, I am broken and hurt,
that I would have let you, take away what I've learned,
toxins are forming, numbing my heart,
I am letting myself die, falling apart,
the bleeding doesen't stop, my life will not end,
when I try to let go, I find myself holding on again,
life is a constant battle, with me cuffed and tied,
being thrown on the ground, to beg for my life,
how can I fight when I'm beaten,
the words won't appear,
I am fighting for death, that much is clear,
the story's in vain, you are pulling me out,
of this tunnel you led me to walk through without...
the light that I needed to hold on and survive..
you are erasing everything i've known in my life,
and all of this time I am screaming.....you hear,
I know you aren't deaf, let me dissappear,
I need to let go of you, to learn how to BE,
then once again, I can understand what I need,
I go to bed hungry, In a fight with my mind,
the battle means losing, more and more everytime,
I am drowning and suffering, I need to break free,
so I can finally swim up and LEARN HOW TO BREATHE

    Incredibly, hauntingly, beautiful. I too, have experienced this day, Camie. You portray emotion with words as Ali connected a fist with a competitors noggin.....easily & truly felt with incredible force. I love it!!!

    Breathing is so freshing and relaxing rather than stressing over everything. Thanks for sharing.
