I feel lost Like I've been caught in a riptide Tumbling over and over Unable to breath-to hear Trying desperately to see Feeling a crushing pressure On my chest A panicky desire to breath To breath   to breath But somewhere inside me There is ....... A small soothing voice Saying " Not yet.....not yet...not yet" Relax...let it roll Relax...let it go Relax...pretending you don't care Relax relax ......relax Float up and free... Emerge......NOW! Now breath.....Breath in the fresh air Okay- I'm floating FLOATING But I'm still lost Out in this vast ocean Far away From the security of the beach I can see ...I can hear What I've been missing Now it seems So far out of reach Should I wait ....in hopes of rescue? Or should I swim..... ....towards the shore? Do I even know if it's where I might have come from? Is it somewhere I've never been before? I'm not lost...am I If I can see a landmark? I'm not lost if it seems familiar I'm not lost...if I just float here... ...just where I am? Having just now....managed...to surface Coming up to breath some air....so I'll take a little time...to enjoy The choices That I now have ahead of me Now..... That..I'm on top Now .... That I'm floating Now that I'm there ...where... I can get that first... ....glorious Gasping ....rasping...grasping Everlasting... First....breath...of fresh FREE .....LIFEGIVING....BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL AIR So now breathe and believe! Breathe.. breathe ...Breathe You have plenty of time One breath One breath at a time One breath One breath at a time...so .....breathe.
