How Does It Feel?

February 3, 2014

Take a breath. 

Now think.

How does it feel?

The air gently coming through your nose and lips,

Softly brushing the skin.

How does it feel?

The knowledge that you are alive.

The fact that even though life tried to push you down before,

You're here.

How does it feel?

Using your existence as a big "Screw you" to every challenge that defies you.

Tormenting life with the idea that you can't be defeated.

How does it feel?
