Breathing
I’m scared of what life has in store
But I’m also excited to see what it is.
Back in 2021 I wanted to end it all
I was ready to forfeit this race.
It was always day but
I chose to not see the light.
Whenever it became night
I kept wishing for sunrise
I use to thought I had to die
To escape the distress I felt
I thought death was the only option
To experience true freedom
The idea of suicide was a friend to me
It solved all of my answers back then
My feelings wouldn’t be in turmoil
Looking back, I realized it was a snare
The emotion of going to sleep
And to never wake up again.
Was an intimate feeling for me.
I cursed myself for waking up in the morning
My perspective changed
I’m optimistic for what life has
I don’t want to cower in the dark
And hide from the sunrises.
I don’t take my mornings for granted
Instead I sit there and breathe it in
