A Poem for a Cold Day: "Breathe"

Breathe.

Adapt to your environment,
But do not lose yourself.
Remember all of you is too much for everything.
​
Heal your wounds as they arise,
But do not sicken yourself with worry.
Remember you do not know what is to come.

Guard your heart,
But do not close it off completely.
Remember to stay open to love in the world.

Accomplish your goals,
But do not forget to dream.
Remember there is more than one success.

Realize your true self,
But do not resist change.
Remember each moment is new.

Embrace the light,
But do not fear the darkness.
Remember there is more than what you can see.

Live your life,
But do not plow through at your greatest speed.
​Remember breath takes time.
