I take a deep breath in, tasting the cold air on my tongue
feeling it seep down my throat, through my lungs
down to the pit of my gut.
I let it sit, passing deeper within.
I feel the ice go through my skin, pass through vein after vein
reaching every ***** in my body, stopping at the heart.
I give in, exhaling every particle of used up oxygen
finally cleansed of my past.
A breath of fresh air is all it takes
to save me from the thoughts that haunt me.
