Let Me Breathe

 I feel pain in my chest

The heaviness from the day

I hold my hand on my chest

Trying to breathe in and out

Why won't this pain stop

 

The piercing I feel is unreal

The stabbing is getting worse

My chest feels like it is on fire

Buy why am I feeling this

I continue to hold my chest

 

I think about the day

Remembering the pain

The hurt you caused

The words you have said

Pierced me

 

I see you daily and I feel pain

I hurt from everything

I feel like you are stabbing me

Pushing me to my limits

Is it your goal to keep this up

 

My heart hurts

My heart is in pain

My heart is troubled

Burdened

Tormented

Bruised

 

From so many words

From the world

From you

 

Will this end

Will it ever stop

Will I feel normal again

Can I breathe normal

Can I feel like I can relax

 

Please stop

Please let me breathe

Please let me feel better

Stop hurting me

Stop using your words

I am begging you

 

I am begging you

Let me breathe
