BREATHELESS
Silentbreathe stolen in a moment of laughter footstepsfrozen in place knowing that this could be the last breath
FIGHTING TO LIVE air nowhere to be seen bits and pieces of air hard to come by words no more than whisper sounds of life slipping away Oxygen replaced with pollution lungs filled with Black Death Speechless waiting for the kingdoms ofnature to open up releasing. A chokeholdLungs sufferingjust one more breathe taken asthma holding life hostageair unfound
Searching for the keepers of oxygendistances away
Fear of talkingUNABLE TOsustaina touch of air asthmavengefuland mean spirited
Takingair for granteddisrespectingnatures naturalkingdomsof oxygen trying to speak out needingto breathesearching forthat one burst of fresh air fear of stepping intothe light of no return dough the beauty of the crystal light is tempingand welcomingthis journey of life not over yetas I fight to breathe
Lungslosing theabilityto sustainlife trying to overcome this thing called asthma dying to breathe like a fish out of water fins flapping hoping for a splash of water as do my lungs god let me breathe if only for one seconda splash of airwhispers of sounds wishingfor a miracle . Lungs collapsingfamily crying wonderingif the last drop of rain has falling
Downon this roseas her use her last drop of oxygenrose peddleswintering, as do her lungs dying to breathe from lake of air. this thing called asthma leaving these old Lungs breathlessas I take the last breath of airmother nature’skingdom of oxygen contaminatedwith pollution killing me softly black death living in the lungs of this old breathless body. Fighting to live if only for a short whileifI should die tonightgod take care of all that I leave behind show them the path of healing let not their heart sufferas I sleep in peace in your house glory
If or when I surrender to this thing called asthmaheavenly father wipe away their tears give them the know how to carry on as this thing called asthmaclaims another soul
Bodylay silent fighting to breathe. in a world of stillnessI ‘am a soldier victory is mine this thing call asthma release me in the arms of life, and at that moment my lungs were awaken to fresh air a whole new lifeif only for one more day . my faith in god gave me the will to fight my life aren’t finish yet drops of air filling my lungs giving up on life I’ll never do that im a survivor asthmais a silent killersometime we takesomething as simple as air for granted
Live your life like its golden
Tomorrowmakes no promisescherish the air you breathe the life you save just maybe your own
