Air

I tried to breathe in air that wasn\'t mine

It was so heavy

It hung around me

Crushing me

Each breath more painful than the last

I didn\'t understand why it hurt so bad

But then I realized

The heavy tears

The clenched fists

The soundless screams

I was breaking down

Feeling like my heart had broken into pieces

That the tiny pieces were piercing my soul

Cracking each part of my vulnerability

After that 

I was never the same
