When I hurt or feel overwhelmed
I have to just destress
Derail
I have to calm
Stop
Think
Breathe
Sometimes when the feelings start to drown out all of the reality around me
When I start to go deaf from
The roaring call beckoning me back
I have to just simply
Calm
Stop think
Breathe
Sometimes I have to put the gypsy word on and just look at the breeze in the trees
No matter what I'm still alive I still exist
I can still move forward
I still have the luxury to
Stop
Think
Calm
Breathe
Even if I'm slipping away slowly
Sometimes it's enough just to be happy to simply be alive
No matter how bad I want to cry
Or scream or fall or need a hand to hold before I crash
Atleast I'm still alive
Most people are alive mainly out of habit
But once you've decided to die it makes deciding to be alive a very different realm of being
So even if it hurts
I'll just
Stop
Think
Calm
I'll just breathe.
Xoxo,
