Think About It

Let me be honest with myself

I don’t know what the hell I'm doing

I know what I did

But none of this was apart

of my original plan on life

Neither was all my childhood experiences

but all of those events have built me

into the woman I am today

Taught me to open my heart and

to never judge someone til

I hear their story

Taught me to be confident in me

because I am the only me on this earth

The only one to think and feel the way I do

I learned to adapt extremely well

to any environment for my own survival

None of what I went through was easy

And I definitely beat Death a few hundred times

in my first few years of life

But I also died

My personality killed and revived with

Every step, Every event, and Every turn

My life took to get me here today

But what makes me smile in the morning

is the breath I take knowing

I live another day

You can’t understand my morning smile

til you see Death and able to flip him off

Once again with your breath and beating heart

So... the next time you are stressed out

mad or sad think of this

Do you have a roof over your head?

Do you have food in your stomach?

Are you breathing on yet another day?

Then think to yourself

How many people have lost those privileges today?

Is it possible that someone has it worse off than you?

Is it enough to make you happy today?

knowing how lucky you are to

have what you need.

Think about your Breath.....
