Deep breaths


We only take deep breaths when we're told.
Like when we're in a Drs office and they're checking for a cold.
But, what about the deep breaths when we're gasping for air,
when our brain says breathe, but there's no oxygen there...
We'll think of all the breaths we took, but took for granted like
that one last wish we never got granted. 
Pause, take this moment and breath deeply, like it was your last...
Don't let this be a moment of deep breaths you let pass.
I take a deep breath when I awake, one that I dont have to fake..
so if that moment comes it won't be too late...
