Learning to Breath

Learning to Breath

A Poem by Lucas Ings

Treating your mental health with alcohol is a lot like swimming:
It is easy to float,
and even easier to sink.

Treating your mental health with marijuana is a lot like living in the atmosphere:
It is easier to to float,
and much harder to breath.

Ever since I was told I had asthma I've been trying to breath deeper.
And since I stole my grandfather's cigarettes I've been trying to breath deeper.

Breathing is so much harder than when asthma was my biggest problem.
Breathing - is so much harder than oxygen would lead you to believe.

Breathing is so much harder than "just... breath."
