Breath...
Something people think just means to take in and push out air.
Well it also stands in the heart of a person when they care.
The word Breath can be communicated to a suffering individual so they can regain composure,
Whispered in a soothing voice so a Person does not feel pressure.

Breath...
It could save a life,
Stop the choking and feeling for a knife.
Learn to stop the suffocating fluids whether it be water, poison, alcohol.
Learn to let people in and be brave enough to break down your walls.

Breath...
In...
And Out-
Easy
You see?
Repeat to yourself,
"There is nothing wrong with me"
Breath,
And don't go unheard,
Breath,
Because it's more than just a word.
