Catching Your Breathe-

As I go I'm just trying to catch my breathe
One footstep a time
One heartbeat at a time
The air in front of me seems to be vanishing

As I move forward the air gets thinner
The lungs work harder
The heart beats slower
I could slow down but that would make me weaker

Every step quicker leaves new prints in the sand
Light headed and fuzzy
Or is it a buzz?
Is this different air than I used to breathe?

Traveling the road to a place anew
I've never been here before
All my surroundings are unknown
But this strange planet has something good about it

It's getting harder to breath
But my stride is getting faster
And my heart is growing stronger
Gasping and wheezing I've found my new home
In time I will adapt to life in this place
