My Ghost

Suffocating words are like hands around a throat.
Deep thoughts are as far down as the ocean’s floor.
So breathe in.
And breathe out.
Only smile if you want.
Only cry if you want.
One choice alone can change your life.
So open a door to let it out.
Watch it leave with no regrets.
And be brave.
And be strong.
Don’t look back.
Just breathe.
Be free and be you.
If you choose, cry a river.
If you like, smile with your heart.
So squeeze your hands together.
Wish but don’t rely.
Remember that impossible is not a word.
And don’t let that suffocate you.
