The lungs constricted, a suffocating weight pressing on the airway. Each gasp was a terrible struggle, demanding every ounce of strength. Panic loomed as the world beyond faded to a blur of sounds, helpless to grab the air so desperately sought.
When Breath Becomes a Struggle
The fight for each inhalation becomes a grueling battle. The chest that once worked with such grace now feel like leaden weights inside the frame. Every movement becomes a labored challenge, and even the simplest of chores can feel like insurmountable walls.
Discomfort sets in with each gasp, a constant reminder of the fragility of being. The world around seems to disappear as the focus narrows to the desperate need for every precious breath.
The Silent Struggle: Shortness of Lungs
Every breath is a battle. A silent struggle against the constriction in your chest that leaves you gasping for air. It's a feeling of being choked even when your body is clear water. This unseen enemy can steal you of the simple joy of a deep inhalation.
You may appear normal, but inside, your lungs are struggling for every ounce of life. It's a constant reminder that even the smallest things can be exhausting.

Breathing in the Shadows of Each Inhale
The air, a constant presence, holds more than just oxygen. It carries the fragments of moments past, each inhale a glimpse into the hidden world. We wander in these shadows, unconsciously pulled by its subtlety. Every departure a fragile link to what's truly true.
Do we even aware of the stories it tells? Or are we simply passive, drifting in its grasp?
Aching for Air
The silence had been, a suffocating presence that seemed to constrict every breath. My lungs yearned for the merest taste of clean air, a simple need now barred. I visualised myself walking in a open field, the breeze rushing through my body, carrying with it the scent of earth. It felt like a unreachable dream.
