I happened upon a useless fact: If you are locked in a completely sealed room, you will die of carbon dioxide poisoning first before you will die of oxygen deprivation.
This got me thinking; One has the means [oxygen] to get the job done, but instead are suffocating by not growing up, stifled by the environment, the not letting go, and not pushing forward for the things they want. He's bigger than our dreams. Don't let what you think He can do get in the way of the overflow that is just around the corner. When you are at your lowest point, just keep waking up. Every day will be not be the same story. Eventually you see something you have never seen.
I want to start over. I want to see something new. Trust and believe...something new is around the corner.
Let me say thank you to Terrie Williams for sharing her poem with me. It means so much to be trusted with these feelings. She has allowed me to share this. I hope it touches you as well.
A Breath of Fresh Air - by T. Williams
Inhale
The fresh air breathing in a new and upgraded life.
Exhale
The turmoil I carried for too many years.
Inhale
A sense of self love and new confidence
Exhale
The thoughts of self doubt and low self esteem.
Inhale
Peace of mind and peace in my heart.
Exhale
Chaotic living and a broken heart.
Inhale
A lifted spirit that there is life after lost love
Exhale
The memories of pain and suffering.
Inhale
Finding me again
Exhale
Losing insecurities.
Inhale
The scent of a new beginning.
Exhale
The stale scent of constant let downs.
Inhale
The feeling of security
Exhale
Fear
Inhale
The affections of a new companionship
Exhale
Selfish acts and mistrust
Inhale
The capability to possibly love again
Exhale
A scorned heart
Inhale
A Breath of Fresh Air
Exhale.
