Breathe.


The beautiful feeling when you compress your lungs When you close your eyes and let it flow through you You stretch out your arms  You tilt your head back Your spirit jumps with excitement Air. You open your eyes and witness the world around you To everyone else, they see imperfection  To you, you couldn't imagine anything better Spring is here.  The trees are alive while everyone else isn't  They're drunk on paranoia, while you're embracing your own chaos By enjoying the beautiful life that mother Earth provided You close your eyes again and smile Breathe. Quietness seeps into your body like a good poison Listening, you hear the panic of nothingness Its soundlessness brings you a sense of peace Memories suddenly flood your brain, filtered with gold In these memories, you remember your old self Pride and positivity rule your life for the first time in over a decade You remember you are valid and worth loving However, you have your moments The world's muffled sound suddenly becomes more audible with its distractions But you remain focused on the goal ahead You close your eyes again. You can finally breathe again. Your life is now at ease. You remember.
