Learn to Breathe Again

As a child I use to hold my breath

And even as I became an adult

When I would get upset

Or something was scary to me

We are all in such a hurry these days

Running around to and fro

We don't ask how people are

And we couldn't care less about them

If we would just take a moment

And step back on the path we have chosen

And just breathe

Maybe then we could truly see

We could chose to see people again

We could chose to see ourselves again

We could chose to see love again

We could chose to see beauty again

People the way they were meant to be seen

   as humanistic and with flaws throughout

Ourselves the way we were meant to be seen

  as worthwhile and worth ones precious time

Love the way we were truly meant to love

  with all that is in you and all consuming

Beauty the way it was meant to be seen

  in the most simplistic little fragments of time

Learn to breathe again, so we can learn to live again!

Have to first realize that we are even holding our breath. Why? Are we expecting something terrible or something exciting? Is the fact that we don't know what is coming what we find so exillerating. Then we learn that there was no reason to be holding our breath and slowly learn to breath again, slowly we realize the antisepation was killing us. Nice one indeed Sis. Soft and gritty at the same time, like a warm wool blanket and a feather down comfortor...!
