Breathe
Breathe.
Breathe, inhale, exhale.
Pause and think before you speak.
You’ve been holding in thoughts,
being cursed at for silly things,
for things you don’t understand.
Breathe, Inhale, Exhale.
Pause and think before you speak.
You take in all the curses,
all the insults,
all the bad words and names…
You can’t hold it in anymore.
Breathe, Inhale, Exhale.
Because one day, you might explode
like a volcano,
and you won’t be able to take back
the words that were said.
Don’t be like them.
Breathe, Inhale, Exhale.
Pause and think before you speak.

So simple yet so useful and meaningful the advice given is golden in this poem. It is said so lovely in such a peaceful form and it feels like the breathing as I read it. Wonderful and a fave
Thank you very múch.
You are most welcome
Very cool.
Thank you
This is a poem which...well says something which haunted me for a long time. Breathe or to exolode? How much nonsense is nonsense enough?
Who knows?
Nicely done 👍✅

How múch nonsense is nonsense enough? Thank you, I think. 🤷🏻♀️
Just to clarify, I meant how much nonsense one could accept before deciding to explode
🙏🏻 Thank you, yes some people take alot before it happens.

Andy
Lol yes
Good write FE. Now my problem is that I need to breathe, as I held my breath for 24 hours one day. I did it, btu didn't feel well afterwards - eh?? Oh, It's nutty! lol.
Lol it’s just in cases where a situation occurred and you want to say something terrible to someone because of their actions. Lol.
Another fave! That volcano image is what struck me most, Petra. It’s such a vivid reminder of how silence can build until it erupts. Strongly done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you very much
fantastic advice set out so beautifully in poetic form, thanks for sharing
Thank you & you are welcome.
I have to remind myself to breathe sometimes so this poem hit home. Well done Petra
