Breath

Breath I breath deeply and hold, this isn’t so hard, it’s relative ease making me bold. Slightly harder now, pulse pounding in my head, sweat rolling down my brow. I could really use some air, this isn’t a good idea, I fall into my chair. My lungs pleading for help, my urge to inhale, I’m about to yelp. My vision is blurry, I really should stop, I’m beginning to worry. I let out a little, I’m mad at myself, too noncommittal It’s too much, I can’t take it, I held it for 2 minutes, clutch. I exhale fast, the first breath is amazing, releasing all the air I had amassed. I underappreciated breath, it is so common, but without it there’s death It’s amazing something so easy to get, is so hard to keep.
