Breathe

Here you struggle
When weakness takes over
Here resides the anger that you let,
Boil inside your persistent heart
You hold back tears
Hold in pain
Give up life
Forget your dreams
And for what
It may seem
That all you really need
Is only to breathe
In and out
You release but gain
The rules of love
The rights of a path
Not yet have you found it
Nor can you see it
Fighting is not the only way out
Your words and soul
Have always been enough
Just don’t give up
Breathe in
Breathe out
You have everything to offer
Everything to surrender
Sweet air
That you breathe
Take away your suffering…
