Deflated

Deflated
the wind so easily
sucked from my gills
the air so thick
I can't grasp it
simply gasping
for a mere chance
at life

Deflated
tired
all my efforts
seem futile
turning slowly in this
360 degree bypass
leading me back to
0

Deflated
wanting more out of life
than the stepping stones
I have crossed
wonder when my bridge to salvation
will link its way
to my path

Deflated
not for long
but for now
simply have had
enough
