Breathe
Just breathe
That is what they say
But it sounds more like I'm being teased,
If only breathing came with ease
I'm sick
Not in my body but in my mind
Each day
I struggle to lift the ton of brick
That is my heart
And of course, I find
It impossible
And simply breathtaking
I'm sinking
Possibly
Into my grave
And I don't want to breathe
Anymore

A sort of sadness ran over me when I read this , with a car but in a beautiful way :)
