I breathe Helpless

This is my description of struggles with asthma, and other problems with my lungs. I feel pain deep within.

For many years I have dealt with this pain in my chest.

Many years overwhelmed by the lack of rest.

 

Years overwhelmed I slowly die.

Overwhelmed I’m living in this worldly lie.

 

I’m living and still searching for healing.

Living and searching for some new feeling.

 

And searching lost tired and confused.

Searching lost within all and I now feel used.

 

Lost within pain everyday I am.

Within pain I live for my name is San.

 

Pain I have to overcome one day.

I have to move forward, faith in God I pray.

 

Have to reach for life for every breath is a tease.

To reach a cure before one day, I am blown away with the breeze.

As a child I suffered terribly asthma, and it is crippling in every area of your life,you just want the pain and lack of breath to leave you, you feel half dead, no energy, and no zest for life.......you have caught that in your words perfectly, I spent so much time doing little to nothing, and it is one of the most crippling feelings.
I hope by now your situation has eased.
