Maybe this is the last one
Collapsed, inflamed,
Choked, drowned
So many times my
Vents have been
Mixed with malady
Courted by infection
Keep breathing, I’m told
Deep breaths, they say
In… and out through the nose
Not as easy when you’re
Not getting enough air
When they’re sunk
Or punctured
How many times have
My lungs been injured?
Maybe this time will
Finally
Be the
Last one…
