The cage in my chest imprisons my breath

  My heart crumbles neath the weight

  My face becomes wet my vision is blurred

  My throat seals itself away

  My limbs shake and quiver as I fall to the ground

  My legs unable to support me just like you

  The only breaths I can manage are shallow and short

  My consciousness fades as the air pulls away

  And I wonder

  Would dying be so different from this

  Would I simply fall asleep as the air slips away

  As I shake and empty my eyes

  Is this what it is to die
