Breathe
Have you ever felt smothered
by a breath of fresh air?
Have you ever felt poisoned
by the bright red blood
coursing through your veins?
When you are physically weak
you forget how to fight the ocean of
emotions
breaking against the surface,
the stormy tide leaves you
exhausted, incapable of fighting
disease on the inside.
Crashing waves of weakness;
Weak. Weaker. Weakest.
You breathe in and you breathe out.
Breathing, because you are alive.
You breathe in and you breathe out.
Breathing, but you are not living.
Have you ever begged for strength
to fight one last time?
Have you ever battled against your
own blood to survive?
You breathe in and you breathe out.
You battle strong - you battle on,
because the only things in life
stronger than weakness:
strength and a will to live.
