Just Breathe (poem)

Just Breathe

Breathe deep, just take a moment,
Everything else, just forget it.
Slowly breathe in, then let it out,
Releasing all of the stress you've felt.

Close your eyes, for a second or two.
Take some time, just to be you.
Forget that the world, even exists,
Become immersed in, self awareness.

Shut it all out, drown out the noise.
Listen only to, your inner voice.
Know that you are part of the whole,
But you still are one, an individual.

Sometimes, we all need to just stop,
Pause for a moment, and take stock.
Of who we are and what we're about,
Especially when, we feel some self doubt.

Thanks,

Thanks blend, It's where I am at right now. In the wee hours of the morning I ask myself if I am where I am suppose to be.

Sometimes it makes me cry because it is scary.

But something deep inside me whispers "Yes"

My Mantra for the time is "Make it work"

Thanks for posting this.
