Choked in Shadows

It vividly captures the suffocating effects of someone else's destructive habits, like smoking, on an innocent bystander. The imagery of suffocation, addiction, and despair creates a strong emotional

Stop! I can't breathe, you have me caught,

Darth Vader's grasp, a battle I never sought.

My lungs are squeezing, a vice made of despair,

Suffocating whispers in a toxic air.

Why should I suffer, why should I choke,

Paying for the habits of your smoky cloak?

Each breath a struggle, each moment a crime,

I glimpse my tomb long before my time.

Stop! I can't breathe, you’re shrouded in mist,

Your addiction’s embrace, an unforgiving twist.

When I was younger, I had no choice,

A silent witness, with my muffled voice.

Do you know that your clouds seek me out?

No matter the distance, there's no escaping doubt.

With each exhale, I feel my spirit wane,

Your pleasure is killing me, feeding the pain.

So please, just stop it, can’t you see it too?

You’re wrapped in a vice, and it’s choking you.

Together we’re lost in this pit of despair,

Let’s fight through the darkness, let’s breathe in fresh air.
