Deep Breaths by Sushi Soucy

This is the story of a kid

Who never did learn how to breathe

And strangely enough

Other than that, we was normal

He did everything else other kids did

Like play or read

But there was something wrong with him


His lungs were too big

Or maybe too small

The doctors never figured it out

So they did nothing at all



They said

"Take a deep breath," but he couldn't

And they told him that his body shouldn't

Be like this

But there was something in his chest

And he was trying his damn best to fit in

With everyone else who could breathe

Breathe



Several years later

He decides to run away from everything

His home and his family

He couldn't take the pressure

Both quite literally and figuratively

His world was collapsing


He doesn't know how

To cope with it all

'Cause no one ever taught him

To get up from a fall



They said

"Take a deep breath," but he couldn't

And they told him that his body shouldn't

Be like this

But there is something in his chest

And he is trying his damn best to fit in

With everyone else who can breathe

Breathe



People don't understand how to sympathize

With something they can't relate to

Walk two moons

In someone else's shoes


Breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe
