Breathing In a New Mentality

You find yourself in a room where the walls are closing in. Surrounding you and you're trying to find a way to escape. You're frantic. Blindfolded by darkness you can't see. You're shaking straight to your core. Losing yourself in hopelessness. You feel like you are done for. Break ahold of these chains. You are in control. Let go of what binds you. Tear down these walls that confide you. Breathe in. Exhale into the cool night air. The stars etched in the sky shine brighter than you can remember. It's been a while since i saw that sparkle in your eye. These are the moments where we are truly alive. Let that cool air breathe deep into the depths of your battered soul. Let go of those demons that took away your hope.

Amen, Logan. Iam all for letting go of all the demons that take away the hope in our lives. Nicely written piece of ingenuity, breath in all that life in the air around us. Sincerely, Moses
