I breathe,

As I let the fresh air from the trees fill my conflicted  soul

As I begin to realize the spikes of the grass is what I feel

As I take a moment to let myself heal from the agony of the world

As I look up to the sky for a sense of freedom from reality

As the sunsets goodbye, oh what a beauty among vile mankind

I breathe,

For the feeling it bring as that second refreshes my mind for the better

For the second it releases the worries placed upon my shoulder

I breathe as it is the only solution for the cruelty that lies within society

Oh how great, one breathe can make one feel the dispatch from society

It is the magic in nature that heals the soul

Breathing is like taking a grasp of the magic

The grasp of magic spreads through the body as a remedy

For the remedy calms down all the negativeness brewing in one's mind

The anxieties of society are let go of with one simple breathe

For the freshness of the air from nature bares the essence of being the unifier between mankind and nature

To grasp a breathe among the chaos is to find the solution to society's faults

Now take a breathe, take in the beauty of your surroundings, and take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of nature

How great this creation so simple yet so significant to one's mental health

What will be your verse? This question makes me reevaluate my current choices, how they will affect my future, and how my future affects the world. I want to contribute my passion for helping people and inspire others to do the same. I have already signed up at Sharp Grossmont Hospital to help during these challenging times. However, I want to contribute to a cause that is more personal and that will affect the future right at the beginning, with kids. I have a desire to make a difference in the world through a charity that will make young children happy and hopeful for a brighter future. Most depressed adults are unhappy because of problems rooted from their childhood. I want to create a charity that creates happiness for adolescents because they are the root to the future of the world. I want this charity to be a safe haven for kids from broken families and unhappy home styles. I want my contribution to our world to be lending a helping hand to those who struggle the most. My verse; the one who understands is the one who will help the most.

The poem by Walt Whitman forces an individual to acknowledge how certain choices will effect the future and analyze if those choices add on to the meaning of life. The author achieved his purpose because it made me react in a way that makes me wonder if the path I am taking will truly guide me to happiness. Although the poem sets up a gloomy mood in which the readers sympathize with the author as every individual understands the feeling of being "empty and useless".
