A jar of wishes

breathe

Breathe in, breathe out.
Release the tension
Release the doubt
Inhale, exhale.
Slow down your heart beat,
Slow down your heart rate.
Feel the world lie on your shoulders.
Feel it as heavy as a boulder.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Release the weight
Let go of the pain.
Never let your enemies gain.
Inhale, exhale.
Dry your tears,
Shut your eyes.
Do not listen to their lies.
Hear their voices in your head,
Think of them when you're going to bed.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Gasp for air.
Inhale the world.
A single breath, not a single word.
Do not argue with their rhyme,
You haven't got the energy nor time.
Who knows how much longer until you crumble.
The pain is nothing but a struggle.
You can push through for a while.
Take your time, fake a smile.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Release the tension.
Release the doubt.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Release it all. Release it now.
