Alrighty, hour two is upon us, and I’m so excited to see how this goes I am sorting through all the prompts I have at arms reach and the one I’m most excited to tackle right now is from the prompt journal “I am Incomplete Without You” by Iain S. Thomas of Iwrotethisforyou.me<\/p>\n
“Write a poem in which the word “breathe” appears three times” and I’ve mixed it with the prompt “who stayed” from pages 13, and 134 respectively.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Darling, sometimes you just have to breathe<\/p>\n
first thing in the morning and again several times<\/p>\n
throughout anything even remotely resembling a day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And in doing so, it is up to you to remember<\/p>\n
that not everyone stays around through the times<\/p>\n
like this, not everyone knows how or has the extra<\/p>\n
bandwidth to help you through it. But those who do,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
like the cabbage man, the one who makes you tea<\/p>\n
on cold days, and the one who buys your books despite<\/p>\n
having helped to create them – those are the people who<\/p>\n
make the breathing worth it. Who keep us on track and<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
heal the hearts we didn’t know even needed healing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sometimes, all you really can do is, breathe.<\/p>\n
