Description

Breathe! The Releasing of... is a collection of poems written by me, the author. So many times we inhale what life has thrown at us. We don't know what to keep and what to let go of, or exhale. And if we are not living out our purpose, it's even harder for us to breathe. I was at a point where I had so much stuff bottled in that I was unknowingly suffocating myself. I didn't know how to simply release everything. When people have an asthma attack or can't get enough oxygen, they have an asthma pump or have a mask placed over their mouth to help them breathe. That's what poetry was for me. It helped me to breathe, to deal with the issues I knew about and uncover the ones I didn't know about. I was empty inside. I had great friends, but neither one could fill that void that was in me. I was not only running from my past but my calling. I was becoming depressed and almost suicidal, but poetry gave me a reason to live. The more I wrote, the more I released. The more I released, the more I became honest with myself. I found strength to deal with my issues. While dealing with the issues, suicidal thoughts and depression left. I realized I needed Jesus in my life. I accepted God and started living my purpose. I was finally breathing.
I hope you will find what helps you breathe! Be real with yourself. You won't find it in drugs and alcohol. That breath you need is Jesus Christ to help you confront the issues that you are dealing with. He is the only one that will lift the weight of the world off your shoulders.
