Breathe

I look out unto a suffocating world

Heart closed from what has happened in these four walls

Wondering...

I breathe in

close my eyes

I breathe out

My exhale accelerates me to a world of joy

A place where I have.... my everything

My everything is simple

It's weightlessness

A warm feeling in the center of my chest

It's....It's....

I breathe in

As I take in life once again

I think of all the joys of my life

The first time I said "I love you"

My first kiss

Laughing with my mother

Hugging my father

These feelings are always with me

They just are closer than usual

I breathe out

Open my eyes

I breathe in

Smiling....

My heart is now open to the endless possibilities

I look out now unto a beautiful world
