Description
This illness controls meKilling me slowly
I'm suffocating
My chest is caving
In
These walls are closing
In on me
My eyes sewn shut
I cannot see
My wrists are cut
This cannot be
This constant pain
Is destroying me
It starts on the inside
And works it's way out
It takes my self-esteem
and leaves me with doubt
I'm going crazy
I cry, I scream
And I pray
That it is all a dream
This illness controls me
Killing me slowly
I'm suffocating
My chest is caving
In

it looks to me.. by looking at the flow and structure of the piece.. that the person in the poem is finding it hard to breathe and talk.. as though they are struggling.. as though their chest is truly caving in.... little thing i noticed and found amusing.. really helps the message in the conext of the poem.. great work
