Breathe

Take a deep breath
Until both sides of your chest hurt
Keep breathing until it hurts a little more
There's nothing left inside of you
Until it feels that way

Even if your breath is shallow, it's okay
No one is judging you
It's okay to fail sometimes
Because everyone has been there
The words 'it's okay'
Are just empty comfort

How can I measure
Someone else's heavy sigh?
I may not understand the depth
Of your sigh, but
It's okay, I'll embrace you

Even if your breath is shallow, it's okay
No one is judging you
It's okay to fail sometimes
Because everyone has been there
The words 'it's okay'
Are just empty comfort

How can I measure
Someone else's heavy sigh?
I may not understand the depth
Of your sigh, but
It's okay, I'll embrace you

To others, it may seem
Like a small sigh
But I know
It's hard to let out even a small sigh
And get through the day
Now, don't entertain
Any other thoughts
Take a deep breath
Just as you are

How can I measure
Someone else's heavy sigh?
I may not understand the depth
Of your sigh, but
It's okay, I'll embrace you
You've really worked hard
