it is said to calm you down

make you whole
but to me
it shuts me down
turns me off
freaks me out
it brings me back to life
to keep living

moving


dance



art




anything
it scares me
because when i stop
i am no longer living
it has stopped before

took months to return
we get one chance

one do over


one more time to live again
and its never the same
because the next time i stop breathing

i will never breathe again
