Lost in the moment
heart beating rapidly
air failing to reach
constricted lungs
I feel each breath,
the sounds of struggling
unsure of what I’m suffering from
I drive intensely-
need my home
to hide away
from bright sunlight
home is where I know the rules
and break them when and how I like
I trust myself
to betray
the goals I have
can’t be attained
my skin and mind
feel fireblown
can’t walk the paths
I do not know
and if I do,
it will surprise
an insult to my
wounded pride
too used to pain
its dark embrace
my only known
my only faith.
