Can't BreatheA Poem by Declan CooneyEver had an epileptic seizure?Can’t breathe Buckle at the knees And collapse Another f*****g seizure They happen so fast It’s like one second I’m chill Smoking’ dough at my home When I stand, I fall Crash my dome into the wall Like I’m tripping’ balls My sight stalls, my body shakes Cast into a pall Of small shadows and shapes Try to relate Find an anchoring state Focus on an object Repeat that I’m okay Until my vision goes blind Like I pulled the plug on my mind Redefine life as possibly short Power up my processor Bring my brain up to score And then I’m smoking up more Ignoring the core Taking the form of that Which gores my rapport Enduring the lore I’m the rant and uproar I am the riot, the robber The cop and the w***e I’m a rapper I smoke the s**t I know what it’s for Mary Jane Ain’t a way to cast off your sin You beat back your demons They’ll attack you again Mary Jane Just the way you feel inside me Is enough to make me breathe It’s enough to make me breathe X2 Clap, clap Run, stop and breathe Haven’t had s**t to eat Adrenaline’s feeding on me I see an alley So I book it and hide Hyperventilation to hypothermia Will I come out alive? I need to just keep running So I stand up to jive But my brain shuts down And I crash to the side I thought that control was mine And in shaking disbelief My limbs don’t listen to me Straighten out I think Gotta get to my feet Gotta get to the hood Gotta get up and run Gotta get up-- I don’t feel so good My muscles spaz As I stop in my tracks Like ZAP Electric cracks thru my back Face plant into glass Shatter my mask Into a f*****g blood bath Can’t even laugh, plead, scream or cry Skin numb and iced Yet frying inside I just sit there and writhe And hope that in time I won’t die Mary Jane Ain’t a way to cast off your sin You beat back your demons They’ll attack you again Mary Jane Just the way you feel inside me Is enough to make me breathe It’s enough to make me breathe X2 Stop stop I got a hold of it yo Oh God…god… Here we go… This is Haze here Taking animate form Here to save the day Reviving this inexplicable corpse Still down the with demons And I hope y’all love spells Cause you see that hand s**t I just did? ‘Bout to go y’all I hope y’all love tricks! Shugu woogoo bah! I’M OUT THIS B***H! No dreams in between Just natural thoughts Like “oh god” “of f**k” “I’m s**t out of luck” But I know indeed There’s more in store for me I’m not the kind of dope To just lay down and bleed Take a tazer to me And I’ll razor your face Agitate my roots I may wipe out your race Inspect me from space Where you’re sure to be safe My epileptic seizures Send off EMP waves I am neither Alpha nor Beta I’m something much better I am the 13th inheritor of the Omega So take your figures Percentages and mother f*****g odds Submit to me your sanity Let me be your God Mary Jane Ain’t a way to cast off your sin You beat back your demons They’ll attack you again Mary Jane Just the way you feel inside me Is enough to make me breathe It’s enough to make me breathe Mary Jane Just the way you feel inside me Is enough to make me breathe It’s enough to make me breathe © 2008 Declan CooneyAuthor's Note
