"Trying To Breathe"

  

Everything all askew.

I am losing my mind.

And I’ve no promise of any tomorrow.

There is nothing waiting for me to find.

  

For seven pushing eight years,

I believe what I’ve done is right.

But it’s left me in a darkened cage.

Nothing left but blight.

  

I’ve no recourse.

That course has already been set.

Leaving me trying to breathe,

Inside everything I don’t have left.
