Breathing

Human: Fishes have no concept of water. They don't

know that they are in water till they have no water.

Fish: I come with water.

Human: You don't. I can separate you from water.

Fish: Air to you is needed space. Water to me is needed

space. Air is everywhere. Water is everywhere. You

come with air. 

 

I breathe without realizing that I am breathing. I keep

focusing on the mind, I forgot about the heart and the

lungs. They function regardless of how silly my mind is.

They don't complain or chatter like my mind. They just

keep on pushing and pushing for this body and to live

on. I don't know how many times my mind has given

up life or how many times my mouth has spoken

hurtful words or how many times my hands have let go

or my legs have stopped moving forward. Yet, my heart

and my lungs have not once stopped and given up on

me. I may have taken the air for granted but I shall not

take my heart and my lungs for a useless joy ride.
