Air

I need it

Tortured I am Free

Lost I am free

Focused I am lost

Sentimental I cannot

Forever young I am not

Take for granted

Life is gone

No more breaths to take

I need air

Because I have none

Because of turmoil within the heart

It is like a war in there

The tempest will not let up

It will not give up until has what it wants

But all I want is air

The air is much better away from you

You were not what you seemed

So please let me have my air

And you go and have yours

Just let me be and let me breathe
