Breathe

Maybe I can't write no more
Maybe I'll spend the rest of my days doing savasana on the floor
Maybe I will have to draw
For old poems
I don't know if
I still got it
Anymore

'cause I feel pressure
that I put on myself
self-imposed pressure
and I need to be held
and shaken to
wake me up
awaken
see just how amazing
it is to be alive here,
to survive here

it is to be alive here,
to survive here

Who says I need to do anything,
I could just breathe, take it all in
I could just breathe, take it all in

My capitalist mindset,
Has got me feeling I'm not winning
If I prioritize rest.
My confidante Ahmed
Told me to try renewing my mind,
Reset

'cause I feel pressure
that I put on myself
self-imposed pressure
don't come from no one else
I need help
To forgive myself
Awaken
See just how amazing
It is to be alive here,
To survive here
