~ Poetry by me ~
Expiration
The noose tightens
bronchia constrict
Allergy, itching all over
uncontrolled scratching
Part of me refusing
a part of this world
I hang on, barely
in this tree of my body
tied by a thread
Need excruciates-- Air!
never noticed
save for its absence
Skin now changing to
Hela´s hue
Grasping my spear, the needle
I stab myself through
Epinephrine rushing
agony´s essence
ecstasy´s extract
Heart beats wildly
chest bursting, on fire
my mind goes beyond
- I gasp,
breathe,
in, and out,
My fetters fall
a stream of air
is my scream of
LIFE
