JUST BREATH

Written by Not Quite Alice and HastyWords

 

Don’t worry…there is no cure

No plan…no safe place to run

My mind is rejecting my sanity

A story with no happy ending

 

How can I make this right?

Can I go on?

Standing on the ledge

And the safety net is gone

 

He keeps knocking on my door

Handsome and creative wanting me

But I can see the evil in his eyes

Tempting me to lose myself; insanity

 

No, I must stay strong

Don’t glance, don’t peek

You can do this

Just say those words

 

Though the mantra is soft

It is steady and strong

Over and over I speak

Until into my brain it seeps

 

Breathe in, Breathe out

The evil shall be defeated

Looking into your eyes,

I know just what to say

 

Looking into your eyes

The words are on display

The darkness fades away

And peace comes out to play
