Sometimes
it is all you can do
to just breathe, catch your breath
– start with that.
Sometimes
air is all that you need
to keep the worst fears at bay
so just breathe.
At times
when it all seems so dark
and the pain’s all around
just exhale and let go
trust the air that you know
and just breathe.
Sometimes
it may take all you have
just to open your eyes
– start with that.
Sometimes
just a glimmer of hope
in the darkness of night
lets you breathe.
At times
when there’s nowhere to hide
and tomorrow’s a dream
stay right here and right now
fear just can’t keep its’ hold
when you breathe.
You should know
all those tears that you cry
all the fears deep inside
all the anger and hurt
all the bridges you’ve burnt
every ache that you feel
every nightmare that’s real
will all fade – give it time
if you just stay around
so, please breathe!
Last night I spoke to a friend who’s going through a really bad time lately and is partly still in that very, very dark place that most of us are lucky never to find… And I just want him to know that I’m so glad he’s still here.
So beautifully said CC.
I was only thinking yesterday that I haven’t seen you for some time and here you are popping up again. Lovely to see you around too.
