Difficult

Not like the rest.

Deeply I take sweet breath in

But still I choke upon life.

There is no explanation

Not one single reason why

 

Invisible hands clutch my throat

I'm trying my best to fight back

But the fingers continue to grip

The force is becoming too much

 

Soon my eyes start to flutter

My voice turned hoarse

All I can do is gasp

I won't go into the light

Not yet

 

I can't just give in

Why the hell should I?

I know I am far stronger then this

My time has not run up.

 

So though it may be hard

Hell I know it will

I can't just fall now

No matter how difficult

Author's Note

Not quite sure what you would label this, hell it was hard for me to name it. It is my first attempt at something that doesn't constantly rhyme.

I think this is the first non-rhyming poem i've read of yours. And what a success! It's great darl. The feelings are so strong. Never give up it says to me even when things are diffcult. This poem shows so much strength and the will to keep going.

Courage, dear! Stepping into the land of un-rhymed poetry is a huge step and a wonderful adventure.

This is very powerful writing for a first attempt. This is a marvelous undertaking for this type of story line. You allow the reader to see inside the struggle and silently hope you
take control

Well done and please keep writing
