Just Breathe

remember those roman catholics with steaks in their feet at the bottom of the river?
they had to pull those steaks out of their feet and swim up to the top for air.
so pull the steaks out.
pull them out, and breathe.
pull them out and get on with your life.

..but is he the steaks, or is he the air?
is it the swimming or the breathing i should be focused on?
what if i'd rather die at the bottom of that river than live without him..
