COUGHING AND CHOKING

LUNGS FILLING UP WITH LIQUID GUNK

SUFFOCATING

INUNDATED WITH VIRULENT MUCUS

DROWNING IN SPUTUM

CANNOT EXPECTORATE

THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH

AND I JUST CAN’T BREATHE THRU THE GOO

PULMONARY EDEMA

AS I DROWN IN MY OWN PHLEGM

THIS IS NOT CYSTIC FIBROSIS

AS I STRUGGLE FOR OXYGEN

CORRUPTED AND INFECTED

THIS TOXIC PHLEGM ERODES ME

CAPSIZED IN MY OWN BODY

DROWNING IN SPUTUM
