asphyxiation.

breath.

exhale,

inhale,

you

are

alive.

suffocating,

falling,

drowning,

no.

breath deeper

deprivation of air is a horribly little thing

horrible

but,

little.

NO

big,

breath

because it is important

it is a horribly big thing

You are alive

blood surges through your veins

air tingles your throat

you can move

dainty

swift

its difficult

but you are alive

aren't you?

yes

slicing your flesh doesn't prove that you are alive

sitting

laying

breathing

being,

proves that you are alive
