Breathe

All they say is

"It could have been worse"

When you feel like the worst is already here

All they say is

"It will be better"

When you feel like better is impossible

All they say is

"Don't give up"

When you feel like you already lost the battle of life

Physically alive

But mentally gone

Is like losing someone

But that someone

Is you

You might not be able to see the sun

But know it's always there

You might not feel it's light

But it's always shining on you

Even when its dark

Very dark

And you're not able to see anything

It's there

Sometimes

To see something clearly

All you need to do

Is close your eyes

Just for a second

And breathe

Breathe the fresh air

Feel the air making its way

Into your body

Focus

Focus only on this beautiful feeling

Of being alive

Being able to BE alive

It’s a gift

They say

It might not feel like it

But it IS a gift

A gift you can’t return

You won’t return

Accept the gift of being alive

Make the best of it

Do what you can,

Even if it feels like

it’s not that much

Even if it feels like

You are failing them

That is not important

Just make sure

You don’t fail yourself

Do what you can

To make YOU happy

Not them

You answer them

“Yes, it could have been worse,

But it could have been better”

While closing your eyes

You answer them

“Yes, it might get better,

But it might get worse”

While breathing in

You answer them

“No, I won’t give up”

While opening your eyes

And breathing out

Than you start smiling
