Prompt
“Leave me something to breathe . . . ” – Kate Bush
On Writing
Breathe the sentence in. Exhale the sentence. Inhale and exhale each word. Now inhale and exhale the sentence. Then, go!
There is only one rule, keep your hand moving.
Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.
Now go – for five, ten, fifteen minutes . .

“Leave me something to breathe”
I am suffocating beneath
the noise and lies
deafened by my own heartbeat
desperately trying to focus
on footing, on moment
praying there is still room to breathe.
Thank you for the prompt. Love Kate Bush.

I love this especially:
“trying to focus
