Breathe in, breathe out. That's how it starts correct?

Open, close, in, out. All together now

Pushing, pulling, flexing, clenching, breathing

Wake up, sit up, think, blink, remember this?

The light, the touch, the weight of your eyelids

Heavy, droopy, slipping, shutting, closing

Falling back, collapse, can't you just go yet?

The feel, gentle, the noise, its violent

Pounding, whispering, silence, I'm breathing

Breathe in, breathe out. That's how it ends correct?
