My lungs burned.
With what, I could not tell.
Like breathing underwater. Like drowning on land. It burned.
With each breath shacky, unstable. With eyes peeled wide. With unnamed tears. What is this, I do not know.
Fear? Anger? Sadness? Joy?
Relief?
I cannot name this feeling.
But my lungs, they burn.
