Hyperventilation
inhale, exhale, breathe.
release all that has released you with loving hands
what wants you will always stay
why fight abandonment when all that wants you never ponders leaving
inhale, exhale, breathe.
let go of the thoughts they programmed into you
more than a body, more than a woman, more than a pawn
inhale, exhale, breathe.
know that you are more than they see
eyes blinking hatred are incapable of seeing the beauty that is you
inhale, exhale, breathe.
applaud your soul for having depths so deep none of the hands which grazed your skin could feel where you start and end
inhale, exhale, breathe.
embrace yourself for all you are now and all you will become
