Don't Breathe

Breathing is harder.
Heart rate fast.
Brain wave broader.
Nerves won't last.

Though who am I.
Who am i suppose to be.
Was I easier to love
Was I easier to lose.

Everyday gets harder.
Voices never sleep.
Pulse is getting slower.
I've began to weep.

Though when these thoughts surround.
When the world is silent.
Am I the only one around.
Alone in the world so brilliant.

So when I'm long and gone.
In the ground asleep.
I don't dare give grief.
Because I don't breathe.
