Breathe

Breathe

As the endless cacophany

Breaks on top of me

Pressing in directions

Asserts against my predilections

Heart beat slamming

Against the cage in my chest

I'm doing my best

From going into arrest

So I breathe

Close my eyes and take a moment to breathe

Let it recede

All the needs and calamities

Taking these pieces from me

The world will persist

So I must insist

To keep the bending from breaking

I will be partaking

Of a few moments of solace

That no one will notice

But will make an endless

Breathless

Difference for me

Breathe

Close my eyes and breathe

Empty my mind and breathe

Open my eyes

And breathe
