So much in life can be simplified by a very simple action. One Deep Breath. Fear, frustration, stress, any negative emotion can be quickly expelled by just one deep breath. You become calm, cool, collect, and can start to analyze things with a different and more relaxed mindset. Everything that I do becomes easier when I can control my breathing. This weekend I'm going to be completing my level second and third levels of the accelerated free-fall (AFF) class at the mile-high skydiving center. During my first level I was terrified at first, then I took a deep breath and all the fear cleared away, and I jumped out of the plane. It is amazing what we are capable of if we pursue what we are passionate about, and clear away any negative feelings we or others may have.
Here's another poem I wrote recently:
The storm is rising steadily
Soon it sweeps me off my feet
The wind is blowing past the toll
Slowly rising out of control
I am confused
I’ve lost my way
Please bring me back
Another day
I need a place
Where I belong
Unknown sights
Tell me this wrong.
My ship is sinking steadily
The water splashes at my feet
Will I survive I do not know
Alone in life, where did I go?
My heart is dying steadily
The pumping blood looses the beat
Without someone to share my song
Unloving bodies carry on.
The nature of
My human mind
Needs to confide
Secrets divine
Without a pulse, without a place
Without a pace, the human race
One drop drips down, onto the frown
Turned upside down, start the countdown
Who I was and who I’ll be
The past will breathe tranquility
As what I sought from dusk till dawn
Was found inside me all along.

This starts out so sad, but then you find your way into some happiness. I know you will find the right person to keep up with you. Have faith, my son.
I'd like to think there is a further internal meaning in this poem than looking for a specific person, but thanks.
Do you feel alone in life because you're in the process of searching for who are you and who you want to be and what you want to do with your life? Your poem reads to me as search for self, and the ending tells me you're well on your way to determining all of the above. All the best!
