Breathe

In & out

as unintentional as anything else in this godforsaken existence.

Back & forth

lest you drown in your own insecurities & shortcomings.

Up & down as you take it all in stride & keep holding on

Side to side while everything around you starts crumbling

Diagonally as you struggle to cope with what existence has become

Left to right until you can’t anymore.

One thought on “Breathe

  1. I really like the way you used movement and opposites in this poem. It gives me a sense of being pulled all around the way life pulls us around sometimes. Thank you.
