Breathe.

So your brain receives oxygen and you can continue to process,

Breathe.

Because if you spend your whole life holding in air

You’ll float away,

A balloon of everything you didn’t become,

Breathe.

Don’t let complexity consume you,

Because there are moments

where all you can do

Is exist so

Breathe.

Make the bones in your body

The only home you need,

Live inside the

Cage of your ribs and

Breathe.

Feel each constriction

Of your chest,

Each extension in

Your throat,

Allow yourself to be everything and nothing

At once,

Breathe.

Look at the sky, grow envious of the

Clouds,

Breathe.

Because everything is temporary and each

Breath is a poem,

Inhale, exhale,

Breathe.

Closed eyes ,

Breathe.

Open lips,

Breathe.
