BREATH?

To breathe is needful
The option?

I'm just going to go with
the flow!
I don't care about trending.
I just want to

BREATHE

(huge intake of air)

Ahhhhhhh!
I fight silent battles,
I struggle everyday.
Victory, I know-
Is surely on the way!
We all fight silent battles. It's hard to press on when you are facing all sorts of crises. Victory is certain, it just takes time.
Infatuation;
when you focus, idolise and fixate upon
the one reason it will work--
ignoring the million others
that dictate otherwise

It is unreasonable
logic screams; reason shatters
yet so heartbreakingly human
I am not
a statue.

For you to put on a pedestal.

Waiting to break
the minute you drop me.
There are as many interpretations,
As there are words

There are as many words,
As there are ideas seeking expression
Not everything is "great",
You don't "love" everything,
"Awesome" must leave you in awe.
Choose words wisely.
Life is like dark chocolate;
Rich if you appreciate it,
Bitter if you don't
