Don't Forget To Breathe Poem by Osaya Evbuomwan

Life is not Easy life is not fair
Why must I choose? , why all this despair?

I want both but they just don't click
why must it be that way?
why won't the pieces fit?

I'm caught in the middle both are good decisions
one has more security than the other
while the other a simpler commission

One benefits us both but will take some time
The other benefits one while the other is surrounded by grime

To stand the test of time exercising patience
Its a tough cookie to swallow but the results would be ancient

My heart is big enough for both to enter and dwell
but the other is selfish and refuses to sell

Two stubborn minds two beautiful hearts
everyone wants me to them selves and its tearing me apart

Sometimes I just think what if I jump right now
staring down at the ground from heights
with fear that knows no bounds

But there is an alternative is quite painless
going to sleep while bleeding so relentless

The radial artery brings a slow and painless death
the carotid artery brings it fast so one can finally rest

I don't know if I have the guts to do it
but I do know I don't want this pain
I want to be through with it

Life is just not Easy life is just not fair
Why must I choose, why all this despair

Thoughts swirl around in my mind and I begin to stare
the razor in my hand Is hot,
Its as bright as a flare

Bring it to my skin a draw a beautiful line
it turns red and runs like tears from my eyes....
