Breath

by Tasha   Jan 30, 2006


Tell me a made up story. That brings me to a place that I can imagine happiness.
Give me a fake lie. I will be eternally grateful to know anything but the truth.
Shovel it all into my head. Because I cannot seem to get it through.
Give me anything possible. That I can hold on to.
Just give me a reason to keep on breathing.

Act like you care. So I wont have to only see it in my head.
Make me believe your fairy tale. With all its love and happy endings.
Pretend that everything is alright. And maybe it might seem as though it is.
Play like you notice what is going on. Because nobody else will try too.
Just give me a reason to keep on breathing. -

    Hunni I think you could really go somewhere with this. It is a good ldea, it just needs somemore added to it, keep it going. You ended it too fast. Write more about the different people and what they do, meaning you have one that is making up a fairy tale, so keep going with it. What do other people do.

    "Take me, hide me away
    inside all those lies of yours
    the ones that tell me I am loved
    and ones the promised to cares
    Just give me a reason to keep breathing"

    Just an example really. You could also get into why you don't want to keep breathing, what is making things so horrible that you can't handle breathing one more time. Just some thoughts. If you end up revising it and want me to look at it again I would be happy to, just let me know. It really is a great idea and I good poem, now run with it and see where it takes you.
