The Noose
I’m in a dark place
Wit a neck brace
Suffocating
Need resuscitating
Black hole
feeling trapped
Tightening
On the neck strap
Breath fleeting
constricted breathing
Chest beating
Internal bleeding
Lungs can’t reach capacity
Life in a flash
Keeps passin me
I’m in this tree
Tryna grab the branch
Last ditch effort
One last chance
Just out of reach
Do I give up?
Sometimes I feel like
Enough is Enough
Wit a neck brace
Suffocating
Need resuscitating
Black hole
feeling trapped
Tightening
On the neck strap
Breath fleeting
constricted breathing
Chest beating
Internal bleeding
Lungs can’t reach capacity
Life in a flash
Keeps passin me
I’m in this tree
Tryna grab the branch
Last ditch effort
One last chance
Just out of reach
Do I give up?
Sometimes I feel like
Enough is Enough

The intensity of your write knocked the wind out of me !
Find somewhere quiet; preferably outdoors, and close your eyes whilst you try to self regulate through taking deep breaths; and channel those deep breaths into the chakra you feel needs a healing; heart, root, sacral…🌀🙏💙

Incredible job capturing the feeling of depression and how suffocating and hopeless it can be. The ending really sums things up. Good luck in the competition.
