how it felt
and you know what it felt like?
like you were in a room that used to be filled but had nothing in it now and
like you're dying but only your heart
and the whole world is just a grey cloud that you're floating in and you can just barely breathe
just enough to stay alive
like i was drowning in oxygen
and everyone in the room could breathe it but me
and like
i was buried 6 feet beneath a coffin
like someone was resting in peace just above me
but i was alive and breathing and
stifled.
