deep breathing.
a day
free of panic
i feel
the clouds lifting
i tilt my chin heavenward
and let the sun
stream in
deep breaths
let the tears come
just keep
breathing in
my chest
expands
and my mind
exhales
i have somehow
convinced my brain
that this hardship
is normal
but even
a small taste of myself
is enough
to shatter
that notion
deep breathing
lets me fill
my body
with life
again.
