breathing is hard

Mon, 03/07/2016 - 10:36 -- Daovan

Sometimes
I hold my breath
Like
Just out of the blue
I hold my breath
Until I feel like it's okay to breathe again
Lately
I've been thinking
That I should hold my breath more often
That I should
Try counting to one hundred with my heart beat
See how fast the pace depletes itself
See if that shit in cartoon can really happen
See if my face turns to balloon and burst
Try to count them stars and tweety birds before the screen goes black
I've seen it done
I've seen it done before it's not that
Hard
The only hard this is trying to motivate yourself to not motivate yourself to motivate yourself to not motivate yourself to not
Fill your fucking lungs
To not crave for new experience
To just be satisfied
I've seen it done
They like to tell me it's
as easy
As
