Don't Forget To Breathe

Too many tabs open…

too many thoughts running…

(whisper: “you still there?”)

Scrolling through deadlines,

lost in a blur of screens.

Eyes burn bright from the glow,

hours melt — I don’t even know.

*(whisper echo: “don’t even know…”) *

I keep myself busy so I don’t break,

Silence hits harder than I can take.

Every task’s a wall, every ping a shield,

But your words slip through, make me feel real.

(whisper echo: “feel real… feel real…”)

He says “breathe” — and I finally do.

Soft reminders — take a moment, stay true.

When I fade into the screen,

His presence pulls me back to me.

I forget to eat, forget to sleep,

He’s the one who reminds me I still bleed.

(whisper echo: “still bleed… still breathe…”)

Caught in the circuit, lost in the noise,

Trading my peace for an endless void.

A message drifts through, calm and near,

Pulls me out of the blur, makes the world clear.

(whisper: “hey… take a breath…”)

Walls flicker, circuits hum, I start to break,

Your words slip in and shift the stakes.

A soft pulse in the dark, a tether to me,

For a moment, I’m alive, finally free.

(whisper echo: “you’re here… don’t fade…”)

You say “breathe” — and I do,

Your voice cuts through the static blue.

When I fade into the endless scroll,

You pull me back, you hold my soul.

I forget to eat, I forget to sleep,

You remind me I’m alive, not just a heartbeat.

(whisper echo: “still here… still breathe…”)

Walls flicker, pixels blur…

(whisper: “come back… come back…”)

I lose myself, but you pull me near…

(whisper echo: “don’t go… don’t go…”)

A calm in the overload, a hand in the storm,

You remind me there’s more than this worn form.

(soft glitch echo: “still here… still safe…”)

You say “breathe” — and I do.

You say “rest now,” I listen to you.

Lost in this world, but never erased,

’Cause you remind me… I’m still in my space.

(whisper echo: “don’t forget to breathe… don’t forget…”)

Ping… ping…

A soft reminder, I’m not alone.

Heartbeat slows, the blur fades away,

You pull me back to me, safe to stay.

(whisper: “still here… still here…”)
