You've just got to say what you breathe,
air.
Exhale, exhale.
You can't hold it in forever.
I asked myself, what does it mean.
It's meaningless to mean. Focus on the space in between.
I'm skilled in the art of polishing air.
But you devastate it,
sharp intake it
make it scream yeah,
make it bleed and,
make it raw!
Your words are just begging for more, baby, more!
and I'm standing in applause, begging an encore.
Exhale, exhale.
You can't hold it in forever.
It's in the air, do you dare?
You've just got to say what you breathe!

Uncommon. Worth an Inhalation!
"Say what you breathe" struck a chord and plucked a string in my heart! I wonder often about the Soul who believes he says what he breathes and lives by that "air" but cannot breathe what one says back to him! It's not human not to hurt, or have a com passionate nature when one shares their exhalations with You and all You can do is keep on breathing.
"Say what you breathe" is a breath of fresh sight!
I am pleased to have come into the lung capacity of Your upheaval and exhalation.
With gratitude and appreciation for the Voice of Soul within the Poem "Say what you breathe!"
TILL then
stay
for ever

Ahhhhhhhh! I truly and absolutely LOVE this piece! If you could extract a thought from my mind and paste it on paper this is what I believe it would be.
I'm skilled in the art of polishing air.
But you devastate it,
sharp intake it
make it scream yeah,
make it bleed and,
make it raw!
This is my favorite part
Wonderful and soul rendering
