Breathing

Journey To Loving Myself.

By Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh.Published 7 years ago 1 min read

Gently putting one foot in front of the other

pulling apart spider webs and twigs

to get ahead...

Breathing in

Breathing out

taking in every single sound

pushing through this final round

unafraid of letting go....

with cold realizations

this consequent frustration

blatant in the air

almost too real to bear....

One foot in front of the other

My life, My fight

My heart, and pride,

I must be the one to shoulder...

Still, in this restless wander,

One foot in front of the other

count one to five, so not to dive

I will not break asunder.
