Gasp

I feel that desperation swallow me.

It fills me with that blur,

The static consumes me.

It weighs me down till I can’t move.

I want to live again,

Cast away this wood overhead,

Once again walk with the living.

All my wind comes rushing in.

I jolt with the unexpectedness of it,

My throat tightens as I gasp for air

All those tears I’ve captured are let go.

I hurt all over,

Sobbing

Sobbing

But at least I can breathe.

My hands shake.

I curl up into myself,

I’m held there until I drift,

Off to the stars.
