Lesser Then

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

When you can’t breathe through your nose.Breathe through your mouth.When you can’t hold it in.Let it out.Said she couldn’t see the hope.When she could cope.Bleed if it all really hurts.Blend in with the hope.Then was better than now.I was lesser then somehow.
