Breathe
You are a calm soul
if you were a color
you’d be the shade of blue
off the shores of the Maldives
but as your anxieties build
a storm brews,
waves rage
pounding one after another –
I look into your ghostly eyes
and see you tumbling in the sea
unable to gasp for air –
relax,
let go of what is pulling you down
so you can float and breathe
