Open the door
Open the windows.
Let the thinnest air in,
For I cannot breathe in.
Let me feel the breeze
Let me cherish the wind.
Allow me to swallow the air,
For I cannot breathe in.
Unclasp your fingers from
Around my neck.
Loosen your hold
From around my hips,
For I cannot breathe in.
It is raining outside.
The clouds passing by
The lightening that just went by.
I can see the shower
Trickling down the trees.
The mud dancing down the roads.
The strong winds
Blowing away the leaves.
And yet, I cannot breathe in.

Lovely words !! Sometimes suffocation is so strong from inside that it’s not able to break the emotions you are facing and no matter how much efforts you make but cannot breathe

What a deep meaning to this poem if yours. It’s amazing and you are gifted.
It’s so pictorial that I could imagine myself in this little poem realistically. Keep writing! I want to know how does it relate to you. Because I guess it has a different meaning for everyone. Is it different for you too?

Thank you so much darling. I am glad you liked this little pice of poem.
For me it is all about being clogged up with so many things around. What about you?

Your welcome!
Yes I figured out that it is like clogged with emotional things. For me it was a chain of aspects for a woman who is stopped and tortured and wants to go out and let herself feel the rain. But she is abused and clasped on neck until left to die. But I am glad the second picture that how one is suffocated with emotional feelings of stress and more can make one loose breath. It is more satisfying.

It can be satisfying for you, but for me both the cases portray so much trouble and claustrophobia. Sometimes emotional torture kills you from inside.

Simple and yet so profound!! How accurately you described those suffocating moments!!
PS: i notice how you are writing more of poems these days!! That’s quite lovely but at the same time shows the phase of inner turmoil going through being manifested in the form of poems!!

Thanks Sifar. I don’t know how this is coming out, but I most certainly am not liking any of it.

It’s coming out because you are in an inner turmoil and all these are ways to let it out…if it makes you feel better and after this you forget everything then keep writing! Even though it’s dark and sad…but it helps to relive you!
