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
