Poetry: "Remember"

Remember

by Ruby Seidner

​

Breathe in

Breath out

Forget how stout you look

Breath in

Breath out

Forgot how much you doubt

Breath in

breath out

Focus on the good

Breath in

Breath out

Remember that you could once and that you can again

Remember the people that held you up

Remember that you will have that again

That it will take time

Remember that your blood will continue to flow

Remember that you will continue to grow

And your body will continue to know when your mind wants to explode

Remember that this too shall pass

And that sometimes the key to your mind forgetting the feelings of being in fight or flight

Your body needs to remember
