QUESTION MY SANITY...LOSING MY MIND
It's been a while. I have sort of been avoiding this whole journal thing in fear that I might end up having a nervous breakdown. Typing my problems out might make it worse.

what is it i asked
not sure if i should be excited
or in debt to her

it does not appeal to any of your primary senses
air
i said
yes
said she
without it
you cannot exist, said she,
look past the things you see
look past the things you feel
they cannot disrupt a breath
the most important thing
i can give you is this
life is created by the air you breathe
but it can be shaded by the environment you breathe it in
remember to keep this box
and use it to breathe
when everything closes in
and you fear suffocation
i didnt know what to say
i dont think she understood that
air has long since left my room
and i was on my way out
i guess she thought she could help me
so i kept the box
and eveything that wasnt in it
and used it to breathe
every once in a while
