asphyxiation

eyes weak,
hands numb.
afraid of what
he had become.

avoiding sleep,
until daybreak.
afraid to dream,
afraid to wake.

a gentle sigh,
he would soon release.
all childish fears,
now deceased.

under piles of tears,
and mistakes made of wonder.
a boy full of life,
would surely go under.

so to his past life,
he mumbles goodbye.
then takes a quick leap,
and pretends to fly.
