Chest Decompression

A cycle of poems «Trauma Life Support»

Air trapped inside, a pressure so tight
A struggle for breath, a desperate fight
The chest feels like lead, a heavy embrace
A silent alarm, a frantic pace

Chest decompression, a lifeline's release
A needle's swift touch, bringing peace
The pressure subsides, a sigh escapes
A chance to breathe, as life's rhythm shapes

The tension unwinds, a calming flow
The air finds its way, where it needs to go
The pain starts to fade, a flicker of light
Hope rekindles, in the darkest night

Chest decompression, a lifeline's release
A needle's swift touch, bringing peace
The pressure subsides, a sigh escapes
A chance to breathe, as life's rhythm shapes

From suffocating depths, to a clearer sky
A new beginning, as the clouds drift by
The body's resilience, a powerful plea
To live and to breathe, wild and free

Chest decompression, a lifeline's release
A needle's swift touch, bringing peace
The pressure subsides, a sigh escapes
A chance to breathe, as life's rhythm shapes

The breath comes easy, a gentle embrace
A thankful heart, finding its space
Chest decompression, a gift so grand
A chance to live on, in this promised land.
