Prompt: basically being at your limit

~

breathe in
breathe out
breathe in
breathe out
in
out
in
. . .

I breathe in through my nose
and out through the mouth.

The oxygen rises upstairs
before it follows south.

It does not exit: instead
going down down down

Filling up my stomach
and my head to drown.

Where there is a way there is a will,
Tempting the mind to splash and
spill.
