Breathing UP!
By: JP Leddy
No longer suffocating under the weight of it…
I see freedom in breath flowing in my lungs of life…
Lifting me and feeling me breathing up out of despair…
No longer trapped in hurt but feeling the promise of love…
Someday for me that will make my heart light and float…
As I become a feather enjoying being swirled in joy…
