Analysis of I can't breathe
Can you really change? Because I'm tired of this cycle.
Did I commit a crime which leads you to envy me in such a way I can't breathe?
I will call you depression because you are killing me inside. They said blood is thicker than water but I say water flows faster than blood.
You throw me in the field where one must fight. Lucky are those who have brothers who treat them like brothers.
Positivity is my only weapon
