Oxygen

I try to change for everyone around me.
I tried to be as perfect as possible as I wanted everyone to like the image I presented them yet I was never satisfied with it nor happy with what I saw in the reflection staring back at me.
I could see all the cracks in the mirror as I tried to fix each imperfection and fix each flaw, but the cracks grew bigger and without warning my mirror shattered to a thousand pieces all over the floor as I pick up the broken glass crying and bleeding while screaming for someone to understand me and see I am only human I feel unfortunately the cold silence in the room as no one wants to hear my pain.

I can’t breathe anymore,
I can’t speak anymore,
I cannot feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
I can’t breathe,
I can’t scream,
I can’t even feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
Resuscitate me,
save me from suffocating,
I need some oxygen.

I can’t breathe anymore,
I can’t speak anymore,
I cannot feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
I can’t breathe,
I can’t scream,
I can’t even feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
Resuscitate me,
save me from suffocating,
I need some oxygen.

I lie on the floor barely alive as I collapsed without warning while only able to recall the sight of darkness as I couldn’t see that light of the end of the tunnel and I sure as hell couldn’t find a way out ‘cause I was too busy struggling to breathe as I hear voices around me that sounded so familiar that were trying to guide me back to safety, but somehow I felt like I couldn’t find those mysterious voices no matter how hard I tried searching.
My body slowly felt like it was starting to levitate off the ground.
With such ease and gentleness sweeping me off my feet it felt like god was trying to take me back but I wasn’t ready to go back.
No I can’t go back!
I’m not ready to go back!
Everything is black and scary I feel lost and I wish someone could’ve saved me from my downfall but instead they let me fall.
I’m falling,
all the way down, down, down in a pit of blackness of my own misery as I wish and pray for somebody to save me ‘cause I know I’m trapped in my mind while suffocating at the hands of my own pain.
No one understands me as they want me to die yet I’ll never know why I just know I never felt loved nor cared about which is probably why I can feel my heart start to break more each day as I can feel there may be a chance everyone that has hurt me in the past will finally get their wish and see me dead.

I can’t breathe anymore,
I can’t speak anymore,
I cannot feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
I can’t breathe,
I can’t scream,
I can’t even feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
Resuscitate me,
save me from suffocating,
I need some oxygen.

I can’t breathe anymore,
I can’t speak anymore,
I cannot feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
I can’t breathe,
I can’t scream,
I can’t even feel anymore.
Somebody please help me!
Resuscitate me,
save me from suffocating,
I need some oxygen.
