Wrong~ By Farheen Raaj

​It is amazing that we can get something as fundamental as breathing wrong.
I was told that the stomach has to expand when we inhale, not the chest.
To think that air entering and exiting our body can take the wrong route.

I was told that the thumb has to be outside the fist when we punch.
To think that we can punch wrong. 
Hurt ourselves in the process of hurting another.

I was told that we can get love wrong.
That we need to leave our hearts open to let love out, not just seek it in.
To think that we crave what we cannot give.

It is amazing how much we can get wrong, in the span of one breath.
How much can we get right though?
