Suffocating

The air is starting to feel heavy.

By BPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I’m suffocating

under the weight of this crushing emptiness

that I feel caressing my fractured soul.

What can I do to finally be free

of this horrid hell?

With each breath I feel myself slowly fade away

though the pain remains constant.

There will be no judgement for the soulless;

no heaven or hell.

My peace will be delivered

once my body stops fighting

against the inevitable.

I’m sorry for the suffering I have caused,

for the destruction I have left in my wake.

For I have become the monster

I fought so hard to overcome.

Do not cry for me for i do not deserve your tears.

The emptiness has become too much,

And it is starting to become

hard

to

breathe.
