Breathe Again...

A night of no sleep 
of rant poetry
of stalking the internet
of trying to quiet my mind
of attempting to breathe
Toni Braxton: I finally understand
of regrets
of praying
of wondering
of praying
of thinking it will never end
of praying
of wanting to not be on the planet
of praying
of praying
of trying to breathe
of wanting
of hoping
of not hoping
of praying
of wishing
of despair
of praying
of trying to breathe
I finally understand, Toni
