The Art of Breathing

What to do... what to do
When my heart says yes and my head says no
And I can't catch enough oxygen in my lungs
To keep my feet moving one in front of the other
At a perfect standstill
For once in my life the world is rushing by me
And I don't care to keep up with it really
Because who knows what I'd do if I did catch it
So I stand watching
Letting my heart and head battle it out
Letting the world spin around me
Waiting for enough air to start surviving
