Breathe Poem by Diana Americano

the sadness and madness arrives
so i take a step outside
i just breathe in
it's such a wonderful thing
to feel relieved
to feel alive
to feel free
just to breathe in and live
is a thing that's hard to explain
i wonder why
why is it only this breath relieving me
saving me
but then i see why
it is because i am away
away from what i fear
away from the mirrors
the mirrors of truth
i don't see myself and that breath..
that single breath says it all
it tells me i can move on
that i can stand tall
that i wont fall
all i have to to is breath
and all will fade
into the mist of misery
and away from me
all i have to do is breath in and take that walk
the walk back to the mirrors of truth
and wake once again and i will be free
