Breathe
in
Hold
on to it
Until
each part of you feels numb
A
little bit more
Until
it hurts
And
you can no longer
Keep
it in
Breathe
out
Let
it go
Until
every pain passes away
Leaving
just an empty shell
An
indistinct rattling
No
one but your ears picked
The
void left
Will
be awkward at first
You'll
get used to it little by little
I
know you tried your best
"It's
alright now"
Even
if I tell you so
The
words may sound flimsy
Each
heavy breath released
How
long did you lock it in?
Weighing
you down
It’s
amazing how you moved till now
"Everything
will be fine"
Even
if I tell you so
It
may not sound comforting
Each
sigh no matter how small
Must
have torn you piece by piece
However hard I try
I
fail to phantom the depth of it
"I
understand"
Even
if I tell you so
You
may mock at its insincerity
Still
I want you to know
Even
if you get out of breath
I
am not blaming you
Everybody
makes mistakes from time to time
So
don’t beat yourself too hard
Just
take a moment
Breathe
in, Breathe out
You
can always restart
"It's
okay"
Even
if I tell you so
You
won’t believe me
So
for now,
I’ll just embrace you
And
tell you,
“For
all your hard work
My
Dear self, Thank You”
