Earth is my name, what shame people,
I want you to Save the trees and not shave them of my skin,
Bcoz these trees help me breathe,
You build houses with these trees,
Guess who is gonna be homeless, its me.

When you plant a tree, you give hope not only to me,
But the generations to come,
So, plant ten trees when you cut one,
Bcoz remember the free oxygen we give,
Lets make a better world with clean air so all the people can breathe.

Save a tree and get Oxygen free for life!

When can I breathe again?
I’ve been holding it for the past week.
When will my lungs relax from this tensed up state,
of ******* in air and keeping it there.

It’s like every time I try to exhale,
I choke.

Because I’ve been planting new trees
in this forest of responsibilities,
******* the hours out of the day
Taking away
My carbon dioxide
and expelling stress
The poison that this oxygen is

Because the message chime of my phone
has become a dreadful drone.
Chat bubbles rise up into the sky
They pop and pop
Like some kind of cry
For help
I need some air for myself

Because I’m so ******* mad
And not at any of the friends that I have
But at my own selfishness
They deserve the best
And yet I treat them like a pest
How do I even ******* live with myself
When I ever only give to myself

“I need to breathe”
**** that noise
Are you even listening to your voice
You’re acting like a child

“I’ll do it, just give me some time’
Always looking for excuses
Keeping expectations low
With this self-deprecating *******
We get it, we know
You’d rather not do anything at ******* all
Playing the day away
Watching the night away
Wary of making plans
Because you know when you do, you can’t
Back away
You’re scared of facing the day
That you need to give your time away

“I need to breathe”
“I need to breathe”
How much ******* air do you need?
Are you blowing yourself up like a balloon?
So that you can fly
High
Up in the sky
And get even more air for yourself
But here’s the thing pal:
At high altitudes, the air is thin
Oxygen sparse
And that’s when this whole farse
Will come and bite you in the ****
And you’ll realize how it feels to be alone
And there’ll be no home
To return to
Because you pushed everyone away
away
Away
Away
Like you push the air out of your lungs
In the hope that people will get hung
Up on this crystal clear facade

JUST ******* CUT IT OUT, MAN

ANd I’m out of breath again
This poem turned out very differently than what I was expecting...

You call poison life,
While you lie with your broken and teary eyes.

You try to feel the window glass,
To see if you'll find any of my fingerprints.

You break everything while you scream my name,
In a try to delete the oxygen I breathed out calling yours.

You listen to the train's sound where we used to hangout,
So you can forget the sound of my voice that's stuck in your head.

You spend all your money on cigarettes,
Then cry while you smoke them.

You touch and hurt your lips from time to time,
Because they never said goodbye to mine.

You say your blood is blue,
'Cause that was my favorite colour.

You don't sleep,
'Cause the bed still smells like me.

You regret not yelling more at me,
And telling me how stupid I was for loving you.

You like to burn the clothes I left all over the place,
So you can **** my scent.

So basically,

You miss me,
And you can't take it anymore
.
The empty space relationships that end leave is **** hard and painful.

A broken heart one year on looks like
a life I'm quietly putting back together.
Stitching contentment and peace into
the lining of curtains that open onto new landscapes,
growing bold in solitude.

Loneliness is still a ghost in the corner
but these days he is more polite with his interruptions,
and I breathe in more oxygen than lonesomeness.

You still find me in the quiet hours and sometimes I give in,
sinking backwards in the surf and noise of lost love.
but these days I float more readily,
back to the surface.

I can't breathe.
What a feeling.
The taste of blood in my mouth,
Sutures inside my heart
Pulling me into the sky
Like the final smoke of dying embers
I watch the end from behind a glass screen
Screaming at the top of my lungs
My throat is red and tight
Tears cling to me in waves
And I still
Can't
Breathe.

It's not anxiety, no
I've gone through that
Panic, too...
This is an attack of a different kind
A sickness of the mind and heart
That invades my system in viral storms
Lightning bolts
Of anguish and excruciating thunder...
There is no pain like this...
I'm just stuck
Until you deem me worthy enough to fight for.


But I only have so much oxygen left...


Only so much time, before...

Well...
You know.

I'm gone.
Feedback is always welcome.

it's hard to see
but it's there
the dim glow of a spark
waiting to become
a mighty forest fire

others try to put it out
but i will always
try to be the oxygen
that keeps you burning

Love and peace is the oxygen of the soul.
The essence and fuel of life.

Embrace it, drink it like a fine wine.
Savor its delicious attributes,
and let it ignite your heart.

Love and peace is the oxygen to life
The breath that makes one dance.

Feel its power and energies expand.
Allow your dreams to flow with awe,
and let it guide you for harmony.

Love and Peace is the oxygen to God.
The tool that connects one to their passion.  

Experience bliss inside human form.
Resinate with a grateful heart,
and know you’re part of everything.
