OVERWHELMED
This feeling of suffocation
Presses down on me.
I stuff it in,
Making room for more.
How can I contain it?
What happens when I can no longer breathe?
So...............................
I close my eyes and dream
That I am a red balloon,
Taking in air until I burst,
And the feeling of suffocation
Begins once more.

I think most of us can definitely relate to this feeling, but you articulate it so well. Life has a way of suffocating us. But all we can do is just do our best and avoid those that would make us feel less for doing our own personal best. Or at least find a way to ignore them and not let it affect us so much.
Well done, Maur. You are an amazing writer.
Thank you so much, my one and only critic so far, are you sure you aren't being prejudiced because I'm your sister? I LOVE YOU !!!
