I tried to breathe
but White wouldn’t let me.
I tried to fill my lungs
with all that was precious
but White said no.
I tried to live
but White couldn’t accept such a thing.
I tried to breathe again
but the rope was against it.
I tried…
I tried again…
I tried even more
but that knee said no to me.
I CAN’T BREATHE…!
I told them every time before dying
that I can’t breathe
but White said I didn’t have that right.
So I breathed for the last time…
Over and
Over and
Over and
Over and
Over again.
Til I couldn’t breathe no more.
So I breathed my very last breath.
And I breathed my very last breath
Over and over and over and over and over again.
I can’t breathe…Exhale!
