Breathe

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.
