Reborn

Heart racing,
body twitching once or twice,
feel it building up
in your throat,
taking your breath,
the air out of your aching lungs,
shaking your whole body,
until you can barely breath.
You die.

But when it's over,
you can breathe freely again,
no twitching in your chest anymore,
your body is at peace.
It feels like a new life,
as if you were
reborn.
