Breathe.
New voice
New choice
Designed by a Creator
A key that leads to the greater
Perfect gift
Breathe.
Our first gasp
Just to grasp
The simplest action of all
The fragile air sacs rise and fall
It is easy
Breathe.
Soaking tears
Countless fears
The constant, bothersome unknown
Despair, worrying all alone
Just step back
Breathe.
Bogged down
The drown
Not only life but daily stress
Although a young mind, I confess
We forget
Breathe.
The mishaps
The “Oh craps”
When nothing goes right and all fails
Thinking “Will I ever prevail?”
Do not quit
Breathe.
Tears, sweat, blood
Stuck in mud
Pursuing a glimpse of light
Despite all the “Give up the fight”
Never stop
Breathe.
It’s not fair
Almost there
The road is nearing its dead end
No U-turns and no more to mend
The last one
Breathe.
