A heart pounds in my ears,
It throbs through my fingers,
Its intensity is terrifying,
I breathe in, I breathe out: One. Two. Three. Four.

My thoughts are overwhelming,
They are negative and dark,
They have no real substance,
I breathe in, I breathe out: One. Two. Three. Four.

A need for release is imminent,
An urgent call with an unspoken answer,
A desperate need for a moment of peace,
I breathe in, I breathe out: One. Two. Three. Four.

Careless wandering is a blissful dream,
A moment in time stolen,
My ignorance has faded,
I breathe in, I breathe out: One. Two. Three. Four.

Beauty has left my awareness,
Love is naught more than painful memory,
Meaning has slipped through my trembling grasp,
I breathe in, I breathe out: One. Two. Three. Four.


One. Two. Three. Four.
One. Two. Three. Four.
One. Two. Three. Four.
