Hold Your Breath

Hold your breath while I just keep breathing
I can hear your words
I can hear them stabbing into my sides
Your waiting
Waiting and watching for me to fall

Hold your breath
Hold it while you find happiness in my misery

Hold your breath before those words come out like a wind of tourtures

My body can tolerate it, but my mind cannot
So, for now I’ll just walk past you with confidence
While I just keep breathing

The poem is about bullying, and faking confidence.
