crisis & catharsis

breathe

Clear blue waters;
Warp his vision of the sun;
Scorches over him
Pierce through, water;
Hard, his breathing of oxygen;
Almost ended him
A memory of drowning
He was a kid, swimming

But this morning, when he took a bath, he imagined so much;
If he slipped on the floor;
Broken nose and bones crashed;
He can't take the test;
Is it worst? Or is it best?

The same morning, when he took the bus, he imagined it crashed
His vision of gore
Shook his forehead, thoughts scrapped
He thought it's selfish
If only he's alone in it

The same morning, when he solves Math, he imagined it passed
But a reality of his score
Paper of nonsense, looked like scratch
Said, "I tried at least"
But trying is the least

And the same morning, when they said that day's the last, he imagined it bad
Gotta pass it by four
Passed the moment to eat and take a lunch
And remembered at last
He also has no breakfast

Clear blue waters;
Warp his vision of the sun;
Scorches over him
Pierce through, water;
Hard, his breathing of oxygen;
Almost ended him
A memory so haunting
But he was a kid, now adulting

He once hated the feeling of death
But a million occurrences in his head
There was absence of threat and dread
'Cause behind these are the fallings of the crests
He once hated the feeling of death
But now he wonders the feel of it

But the same morning, when he had it passed, he survived at last
He buys on a store
Took a moment to eat and drink water as much
He buys himself a treat
He took his time to breathe

'Cause there are people who helped him succeed
'Cause there are people who hoped him to breathe
