For this, I used the image they included in the Challenge’s post for inspiration:
Life…
in the simple act of living
surviving
victim
martyr
patient
breathing is torture
until you can’t

Those simple acts of life let us know we’re alive. For some joyful and for others painful. But as long as we breathe we have a choice and can try to change things. When you can no longer breathe, the journey is over.
A very poignant way of pointing out the essential essence of living. Your poem made me think. Excellent job.
Shalom aleichem,

An intriguing question. Yes, breathing is work; good work if we choose to see it that way and make the most of it. We should be grateful. Deep…this poem.
