Short spoken word I wrote
Breathe
Do you ever feel like you’re forcing yourself to breath...
That with every breath in, you just want it to stop
To make the rise and fall of your chest cease in a single moment
I wish for this often
I can’t handle how insecure I am with every breath I take
And for so many reasons I doubt who I am and my ability to be loved
So wouldn’t it be easier to just never be loved again
I want to stop feeling the need to breathe
I want to lose this tight feeling in my chest
I want to lose myself
Because I am not worthy of breath and I am not worthy of life.
