Breathe

Poems/Quotes by MyStoriesWithMusic 
 Don’t forget 
 to breathe 
 She said 
 I tried 
 I really did 
 But the air 
 really couldn’t 
 reach me
 Breathe 
 She would whisper
 Just breathe
 For another minute 
 For another second 
 Until we get out
 Have faith
 She would mumble 
 I don’t know 
 If it was meant for me 
 Or for herself 
 Just one 
 more breathe 
 I need you 
 to do that 
 for me 
 I could barely hear her
 Couldn’t see her 
 But I did breathe 
 Had to do it 
 Couldn’t let her down

This poem reminds me of another poem I wrote; There is no time for crying: https://mystorieswithmusic.com/2019/02/20/there-is-no-time-for-crying/, I feel like this poem is about the same sisters on their journey in a dangerous world. Maybe this would be a good poem to have in the next poetry night post that I plan, where there will be more audio poems. What do you guys think?

This is now apparently my “poetry night owl” 😊
