Breathing Counts


Pulling Pushing Shoving The inner depths of my brain are bearing nothing but torture I am becoming a slave A slave to my own mind Every thought that goes through takes my breath away It takes my breath away to a place unknown My breathing is barely there The thoughts come through more My breathing has completely stopped Laying in the world above No listening No hearing No smelling No touching Just the thoughts and insights of everything around me Soon the trigger will be pulled I will be hauled back into the unbearing world I will be taken to the place of no light Darkness will surround me and everything in between Practicing to awaken I will not achieve.

One of my favorite things to do is to make people smile. I love seeing someone's face brighten with laughter.
