What to expect while embracing this moment
A thin paper bag finds the breath that was stolen
The passage of time...
How many seconds have clawed their way through me?
The minutes echo whispers into an ocean of apprehension
Breathing, heart hammering away as if attemtping an escape
Breathing, eyes darting to and fro searching for respite
Breathing, heavy hands like bricks tied to my arms
Breathing, feeling everything and nothing all at once
Breathing, breathing, breathing...
Why can't I breathe?
A thin paper bag finds the breath that was stolen
The passage of time...

The minutes echo whispers into an ocean of apprehension
Breathing, heart hammering away as if attemtping an escape
Breathing, eyes darting to and fro searching for respite
Breathing, heavy hands like bricks tied to my arms
Breathing, feeling everything and nothing all at once
Breathing, breathing, breathing...
Why can't I breathe?
