Take a Breather

Take a breather, 

Lay your weary shoulders against the walls, 

Stop your crying, 

Let your heartbeat still and soften, 

Unfurrow your brow, 

Smooth over your worries, 

Just take a breather. 

Stop for a moment, 

Look around, 

Can you believe you came this far? 

Just be for a moment, 

Stop your endless racing, 

Quiet the hum of your mind, 

Give yourself time to heal, 

Don’t let the hamster wheel crush you, 

Sit with your back, 

Against the bricks, 

Lower your head a little, 

Listen to the little sounds, 

You missed while you were walking. 

Take a breather, 

Give your eyes a break, 

From crying, 

Let yourself breathe, 

Don’t suffocate in this mire, 

Of tears and regrets, 

Find yourself, 

The one you lost, 

A while back along the way. 

So take a breather, 

Fill the hole in your chest, 

Loose the breath, 

You’ve been holding in so long. 

Just take a breather.
