Learning to breathe

by Sinister Soire   Apr 29, 2005


The shock through my mind
A piercing in my lungs
What is this feeling deep inside
This pain and fear combined

I feel so light and faint
Like my body is just air
But inside it burns like fire
And my skin as red as paint

Falling quickly from the high
My body feels like lead
Moving anything is a task
Fear as I begin to die

The searing pain in my soul
Dims and slowly fades
My body turns a cold hard blue
And my vision black like coal

Paralyzed in fear of certain death
Nothing anywhere around me
No response from all my limbs
I strain to take a final breath

Focusing on what I have to use
On the only think I know
Breathe or die that is the choice
Like my solemn simple muse

A deep breath so suddenly
A rush inside my head
Still focusing through the pain
I forgot how to be me

My memories return from their leave
As I remember how to live
My body coming back from dead
While I'm learning how to breathe

    Very good! A little unclear in the middle, and I would say you dont really manage to write down whats on your mind. I guess its just me:)

    At first, I thought you were being born.
    Then I thought you are being reborn
    not knowing your past life but aware
    of your self. But I do believe it is a
    out of body near death experience.
    I had one of those back in the 70s in a
    roll over car accident. Excellent Logan,
    thought provoking read indeed, Write On.
