Breathe
by Z. Bildsten
My only advice is - breathe.
I know somethings you can’t let be,
but I’ve seen where this road goes.
Nothing comes easy as the world knows,
yet we make it worse
leaving us with more wounds to nurse.
So take the time to stop,
before your body is about to drop.
Let yourself be selfish,
I ask for your wellness.
There is nothing wrong with taking care,
nor with yourself not being bare.
The world doesn’t need everything,
not all your time or your being.
So if you were to ask me,
You should take a moment to breathe.
