Image for the poem I can’t breath

I can’t breath

I’m laughing and running I can’t breath  
I’m in conversation I can’t breath
Your making love to me I can’t breath  
I’m on the bus I can’t breath  
A tiny ball rolls down my air way  
Then stops on purpose  
I can’t swallow  
I need help but I can’t holla  
Then a little bit air comes in  
I want to swallow it all but  
Im gasping too fast,  
how long oh God will it last  
Help me I can’t breath (tears)  
Don’t want no one to see me  
spit up or choking  
I rather stay alone I’m so broken (tears)  
No one to rub my back to ez the straining  
Or dry my tears cause it’s been raining  
I can’t breath, Some walk right by  
Others Just look and try to feel sad  
If she can scream it can’t hurt so bad  
Unless you feel it, like really know  
Hold your throat and nose and don’t let go  
please don’t assume I’m ok  
I couldn’t breath last night  
but I’m still alive today.
