learning how to breathe

I am learning how to breathe
I thought it was automatic
I am learning how to breathe
to rid my head of static
I am paying attention
to every in and out
did I ever mention
I'm not sure what this is about

I am trying to relax
I always thought it was sinful
my size of relaxing
is a big as a thimble
I am making connections
I am trying to destress
just what I am accomplishing
is anybody's guess

(why do you
have to accomplish anything?)

I am growing in some way
although I can't define it
but it's a big field for learning
I might as well mine it
at much as it kills me
I need to start to believe
that life is worth living
I am learning how to breathe
