Breathe.


Can you feel it?

The pressure rising, the moments exciting.

Can you hear it?

The blood coursing, the bodys fighting.

Your body's flying, the moments dying.

Your chests caving in, you cant stop crying.

Darkness, darkness crawling in, and you stop trying.

Reach, reach higher, you'll keep defying.

You hear it loud and booming, you feel the warmth surround you and...Breathe!

Your chest heaves up, and up, and up; you are breathing!

Alive! You are alive!
