Suffocating

B R E A T H E

Slow down and catch your breath

Standing still as everything races by

We're all running the marathon of life

Going on and on looking for the end

Everything around us is just a blur

Then it's all over before you know it

You'll never see your progress if you look back

Face front, move forward

Head towards the sky let the stars lead you

Pause, relax, and find your truth

Just breath

I really like how the beginning of your poem also slows you down which is quite appropriate. I also really love the line, "the marathon of life".
