One Breath...


Sometimes I feel I fall one breath short of living.
Suspended in a state of destructive thoughts and feelings.

When you live inside of your head, how do you survive?
Smothered by thoughts and emotions that you’ve always tried to hide.
A dark place with very little air.  It’s like you’re drowning in a pool of self imposed despair.

I need light…sunshine to be exact…to thrive.
If I stay inside of this cognitive cave I won’t make it out alive

  1. Hidden in plain site, mental illness is one of the most hideous and debilitating of all disease. unfortunately our society has allowed this cancer to roam, seemingly freely throughout communities without much resistance.
