Breathe

Breathe

When the world becomes a sea

When walking becomes a pain

When your mind loses its gravity

When present loses its meaning

Stop, breathe, surface

When senses give up

When thoughts stab you

When those walls feel too suffocating

When holding on loses its ground

Stop, breathe, surface

When wholeness disappears

When existing is just passing time

When your mind doesn’t travel

When everything becomes nothing

Stop, breathe, surface

When you only hear words

When laughter is too laboured

When nature is just dust and grime

When creation is mere procreation

Stop, breathe, surface

Stop, breathe, surface

When stopping isn’t an option

When breathing doesn’t make any sense

When the surface has lost all its cause

When drowning finds its meaning

Spread your wings

Lose boundaries

Don’t stop

Don’t surface

Breathe
