Poetry: I LIVE and I BREATH

Perspective

As I close my eyes,

I take a deep breath.

And to my surprise,

I have finally come to realize what it is that I have to do next.

I have to exhale..

I have to exhale

So that when I open my eyes

I'll know that the reason is being, that I am alive,

And that it‘s just part of my basic instincts 

To survive..

 To survive

and to know it,

As I open my eyes,

I release all of  the air that I had inside of me

And to my surprise,

I realize,

I can let it all go…

I can let it all go

Knowing that with every breath I inhale,

I am filled with the strength

To deflect everything negative that you have given to me,

 and render it useless …

What I am doing,

is what I have to do..

"And the reason?" you wonder,

is because my heart is still beating.

It’s not something I had to do…

It's not something I had to do,

 It's something I needed to do...

Yes, It's something I needed to do

because I need to live in the moment...

Life is just a series of moments.

moments that have defined my past, which led to my present, and is going to affect my future...

But as soon as the hands of time decided to move

It was already decided that I’m going to have to deal with things much tougher than you.
