Lift me to the stars to let me breathe
Drop from the stars to let me bleed
Grip the day and release the night
Open scars and seedless light

Suffocating arms strangle my body
I’m breathing but no air is entering my cold lungs
Seedy eyes eat at my thoughts and I’m sorry
But I cannot let you in the pain

Scratching at my heart I release you
Breathing verbal heat through my immortal lies
When will someone fine me?
When will someone open my eyes?

My screams suffocate the air
Lifeless motion exits my body
Air enters through my feet
Life never felt so dead

"It would make those who listen to it doze into a land of rivers, kund fu and unicorns, eventually making the listener pe is his/her pants - Brandon B

I loved the last line, and sure have felt that way myself at times.  You created a character and the scene very well in this write, and welcome back too.

I really like the first stanza. Why didn't you keep the rhyme pattern going?

"I'm just me, trapped in a body."
