Remember peace as it is,
Be calm,
Breathe in,
And breathe out.
Inhale…
Exhale.
Close your eyes,
Concentrate.
Be yourself,
Be unique,
Be proud of who you are.
Relax,
Inhale…
Exhale…
Find that state of mind.
Slowly drift off,
Into that world where you are your own person.
Breathe in,
And out,
You can slowly open your eyes.
You will feel relaxed and at peace.
Inhale…
Exhale…

This was so relaxing! I loved the repitition of it, and the fact that it was a happy-ish poem. I was expecting something dark, just because I wrote a poem called "breathing" where it was like... that was all that was left in this person's life...
so I enjoyed this a lot. I think it may start it off stronger if you added the "Inhale... Exhale..." just to start that repitition sooner.
Nice write, i enjoyed it!

Dear Nelak,
Hey sis, you're so good to me. An extremely sensitive person that both you and Kris are
This poem: "Inhale...Exhale"
You've definitely got a way with words and, YES, it does help me! You should be a yoga/inspirational teacher! You mean the world to me...more than you'll ever know!
I'm so glad that we can all be a very strong group! I've received so many IM's of concern. Brought tears to my eyes!
I'm Inhaling and exhaling more than you could imagine...I might need a paper bag soon,
You always know exactly what I need to hear and I appreciate you for that. I love ya bunches!
Always an

This is one of your writes I've seen so far that I like best, for the simplicity and balance it calls to, I like to read it every once I can..., it also makes me remember part of the movie of Karate Kid 2 or 3, when mr.myagi tells daniel to breath in and out, relaxing and letting all confusion and anxiety cease..focus only on that "state of mind"... ~ Juan

This is a very soothing poem...I really like it, I've never read one quite as unique. I really like how you wanted everybody to be their own person...if only they would. This world would be a much better place, instead of having all these people that try to be things that they are not. Great peice of advice! Great write!
Good luck, Best wishes,

Good!!
Nelak,
Thank you for this poem!
It made me think...
Long and hard!
About what life has to offer and...
How precious it really is!
'Inhale ... Exhale'
'Breathe in,
And out.'
That is exactly what I needed!!
You showed true beauty!!
Everybody needs to stop and take a look at the flowers.
Don't we?
Of course we do!!
Thank you for giving me the wisdom
To tell myself
-or remind myself-
What life has to offer to me!
Everybody should realize that!
'Be yourself,
Be unique,
Be proud of who you are.'
That sure is great adivice!!
This has to be one of my favourite poems of yours
A reminder to yourself, Nelak...
~~~~~~~~ NEVER ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ GIVE ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ UP ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ WRITING ~~~~~~~~
Never, okay??
Good!!
Take care,

As so many others have stated....Great poem! I really like this one, and so many of us (myself included) get wrapped up in trivial things...This poem is a good reminder about how to deal.
-
I really like this one. It has this whole calm "aura" about it, so to speak..lol. As well the repetition is quite effective("Inhale, Exhale"). It reminds me of these calming exercises I used to do in gym, but then it seems like so much more because of all the parts like this>>
Be yourself,
Be unique,
Be proud of who you are.
Hehe, good advice. I always believe people shouldn't be worried about mainting an appearance that doesn't accurately reflect their true selves. Quite interesting.

Great and fantastic!
Nelak,
Great write. I think we all really need to do exactly what you said. I helps relax us and makes us feel better after reading it.
Inhale…
Exhale.
Close your eyes,
Concentrate.
Be yourself,
Be unique,
Be proud of who you are.
That is true. This poem is just so well done I think it needs an applaud. Great write.
The poem kind of reminds me of my Thinking poem and how I would say just keep on breathing in and out...exhale. Something like that. Maybe you got this idea from me *wink.
But I really did enjoy it. You have a very unique way of writing poetry and that is something special. I and everyone else is just so priviledged to have read such great poetry from you. You are a wonderful person and I really admire that from you. Keep it up and don't stop writing. You only get better at it with each poem. Congratulations on a well done piece of poetry. You deserve it.
Thanks for sharing it with all of us here. You are very talented. Very calming piece.
Smiles always,
Kristina

Thank you Nelak!
Oh this is excellent! Great advice for everybody to remember. I love the layout too. Excellent food for thought for all of us. Keep it up! And thanx so much for all your cool comments, I really appreciate them. -
OK. Meditative affirmations can be a poem too! Good poem structure. You might find making the last line in the second stanza and the last line in the third stanza rhyme to move the poem more into poetry realm.
Good write.
