Breathe to be free

It creeps from the dark
It holds a twisted look
That spreads across its face
It wants to entrap me
Tighter and tighter in its arms
My breath is slowly fading
Lungs feel bruised
It wants my breath to escape
It wants to torture me
The pain wont end
It just wants me to suffocate
And wants me to suffer
To bring me to my knees
Trying to break my will
Trying to hurt a soul
Heart feels heavy
Ready to drop like a stone
Wobbling weak
Every bone
A savior is what I seek
It wants me to reach the light
It never wants me to come back
My will is strong and bold
With knees breaking and weak
I stand my ground
Face it proudly
Breathe in one deep breathe
Then let the truth come out
It lets me breath freely
It opens its arms
The smile is all that shows
It fades and feels satisfied
Mission fulfilled, you are now free to go
