BREATHE .

B R E A T H E

It seems I could write but I couldn’t read,

Give you a perspective all the while I couldn’t see,

Give you my stitch to close your heart but my heart still bleeds,

It’s no wonder I’ve needed so much time to finally

BREATHE.

Living up to my own goals that wasn’t even for me,

What a genuine person I’ve turned out to be,

I’ve always been the type to put on for my family,

If only they knew the knowledge that’s coming if they grasp it willingly,

In my family it’s potential is like every 1 in 3,

But we got off track at one point and it seems like 1 in 50,

But that’s okay I’ll change that soon.

But first I need to

BREATHE.

I can’t find you in the room anymore where’d you go,

I feel weighed down by something but I have the ability to float,

I’m just too distracted to look down and see that but that’s how life goes,

Keep em busy with basic needs learning freedom as I go.

I listen to songs with a message and I didn’t get the point,

I work very hard at my mindset so I do not continue to sit in the back cause I belong in the front,

I open up to the feeling of your touch,

I love when you give me a hug

But I need to

BREATHE.

I came to find out that I was forcing myself,

To a lifestyle that’s not exactly good for MY mental health,

And I had to let it go and I pray that it was for the best,

But in the end I’ll always feel blessed but right now

I just need to

BREATHE.

In order to build you need to know where your mistakes are,

What’s the point in starting it you don’t plan to go far,

Everything happens for a reason is my favorite quote by far,

Lessons coming in by the second some are easy some are hard.

It’s okay if you need a second to

BREATHE.

Tell the whole story or keep it short and sweet,

Just be honest and tell the truth of course nobody’s listening to me,

Look into a room where I don’t belong yet I’m surrounded by such good company,

When I left I felt you saying things about me but I wasn’t there so I am just gonna

BREATHE.

I think it’s time to leave the scene.

It’s all of you, and then there’s me,

It’s okay if I leave I need the space anyway I need to breathe.

You attract what you are or where you’ve come from,

You might push away something good out of fear of what you can become,

In the end our life and everyday we see is 1 of 1,

Make it memorable and allow yourself to grow from it.

I took the lesson like I always do,

I’m a simple person with an unorthodox groove,

I do the things I enjoy doing so that’s cool,

Move in silence and do what others won’t do…
