Breathe
Breathe. They say you must breathe during intense emotional moments In your life. Breathe. They always want you to be calm and content. Breathe. But they don't know that your heart is racing and it's about to cross the finish line. Breathe. You begin to sweat and shake, up to the moment and during the moment that causes this emotional build up. Breathe. The moment has arrived at your front door but the thing people have been telling you to do isn't working. Breathe. You draw that last breath before the heartbreak. Breathe. All you can do is sit there not able to breathe, like as if you fell on your back and got the wind knocked out of you. Breathe. But this time it's a truck smashing into you, taking away your will to breathe. You hold your breath through the excruciating pain and anger, not able to let even a little whisper out, frozen in fear and distress. You finally breathe

Building
A builder's building is everything he has, when the building he spent so much time and effort on building comes crushing down it destroys him. The building he thought could reach the stars is now at ground zero, with nothing but rubble and ash in the aftermath. Although the builder knows his love and sweat has been demolished and crushed, he still knows he can rebuild, rebuild from the ground back up, he knows it'll take time and it won't be the same but it'll be stronger and grow taller.
