dragon in my lungs

It expresses feelings of anxiety, guilt, and internal struggle,

By HaileyesusPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

haunting guilt stuck in my throat, refusing to let me breathe. my breath shortens, hyperventilation. a fire lights in my body. i can't do it. i hate myself, but i continue to push on every day with this beast that lives inside, conquering my soul, whispering its inner thoughts, and warping my mind. i need help, but no one will reach out to me. i'm long gone, lost in my head. this creature won't let me be, this creature won't let me live.
