Deep Breaths

This is the story of a kid who never did learn how to breath

And strangely enough

Other than that, he was normal

He did everything else other kid kids did

Like playing or read

There was something wrong with him

His lungs were too big

And maybe too small

The doctors never figured it out

So they did nothing at all

They said

"Take a deep breath," but he couldn't

And they told him that his body shouldn't

Be like this

But there was something in his chest

And he was trying his damn best

To fit in with everyone who could breathe

Breathe

Several years later

He decides to run away from everything

His home and his family

He couldn't take the pressure

Both quite literally and figuratively

His world was collapsing

He doesn't know how

To cope with it all

'Cause no one ever taught him to get up

From a fall

They said

"Take a deep breath," but he couldn't

And they told him that his body shouldn't

Be like this

But there is something in his chest

And he is trying his damn best

To fit in with everyone who can breathe

People don't understand how to sympathize

With something they can't relate to

Walk two moons

In someone else's shoes

Breathe

Just breathe
