&quot;She left pieces of herself everywhere she went. &#039;It&#039;s easier to feel the sunlight without them,&#039; she said.&quot;<br /> &quot;Even after everything, this world is beautiful.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe&quot;

As I walk I hear the
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH
of golden, orange, red, and yellow.
Crisp air fills my lungs.
I breath in slow then out.
Closing my eyes and taking it all in.
The kingdom may be broken, but the fall is not.
The biting cold fills me with warmth and hope, like hot chocolate.
