break in

March 5, 2020
I need a break I need a break I need a break from me

I’m swimming in I’m breathing in “I’m drowning,” sincerely

John Doe

I’ve stripped away Prosperity I’ve drunken down my past

I’ve left myself No other choice Lest this day be my last

In my head You’re in my head You know I see you there…

“Take a deep breath Take a deep breath Take in all of this air.

Make still your mind Make whole your kind Be what you think you should

Now let it in Release your sin And become what you never Would

Gather yourself And leave your things It’s time to go on —Human— Being”
