With each day,
Every breath I take
The air continues to thicken
The walls close in
Pushing me down
Forcing me to struggle for air
Scared of being crushed.
This battle being fought
All consuming
Overwhelming
Is mine alone.
Help requested
Aide denied.
Another day will come
Threatening to win this time
I'm running out of energy
The desire to fight fading.
As these walls close in
And the air suffocates
Soon I'll surrender to the inevitable.
