In the Moment Now:
Unspeakable, un-breathable, mistaken, and lost
Held in contempt with silence trapped behind words
Inhaling each thought and feeling
Losing focus behind this broken lens
Seeing the vision in front, image so unclear
Falling in an empty pool, reaching towards the top
Letting go, giving in, swallowing the pieces of me
Letting go, sharing all, broken branches in a tree
Grasping for air, every moment still
Strength for me, strength within
In every tear that falls, a tear left to catch
Lying here so quiet
Unspeakable, un-breathable, mistaken, and lost
Price to pay, can’t afford the cost.
