Do not give up
so easily..

Inhale..
just breathe.
The flow of air that’s
passing through
your mortal vessel
shall provide you
all the oxygen
that your cells need.
And much the same,
the flow of people
passing through
your life
provides a steady stream
of chaos..
not to tear you down.
To help your psyche grow,
indeed.

Exhale..
We do not grieve
the molecules
that leave our vessel
never to return again
for all we know..
And much the same,
we have to learn
to not shed
many salty tears..
over the people
in our life
that we let go.
