take a breath

there are

days when every second feels like a year.

moments when your whole body just wants to collapse in on you.

nights when you can’t sleep but can’t stay awake.


and all you want to do is

run out of the room and straight into the woods.

fall to the floor right then and there.

curl up under those covers and just disappear.

and you don’t know if you can do anything

but cry


So you just want to fall apart

and i’m not here to tell you

to force your broken bones off the floor once again

i am just going to say that


it’s alright


you can stay there for a little bit

and you can take a deep breath

you don’t have to run with a broken leg

and you don’t have to smile when you’re mouth can’t even move


you can get back up again when your lungs start to work again

your time will come soon enough

i promise
