So I Can Breathe

Reach beneath the surface of my skin I need you to capture the attention of my soul, cut in when I'm dancing with my demons and say "I got you!"...... Chasing them into the arms of the ghosts from my past Look at me and see the galaxies that live inside of me Notice the stars in my eyes, the fire in my being, Show me that there is a right time and place it's not always wrong Let me breathe just for a second If I’m weak be my strength let me breathe and feel safe and loved Let me know that being vulnerable isn't a bad thing That pain doesn't have to always come with love Show me there's a magic left out here in this hard cold world and that there's still good in all mankind Make love to my mind, caress my essence, touch my heart gently Let me breathe in your love... Tell me it's impossible to be strong all the time, Let me know when you read my words you feel my dilemma, that you truly want to understand ME .... who I am inside, and that you really do have me... so I........ can breathe...... 1/3/2021
