Breathe
BREATHE
Can't move
I can't breathe
is it anxiety and depression that lays deep
Try to recover
I try to go to sleep
the next morning the sun rises up and I'm back to feeling so weak
I am not who I used to be
but I am not at my best
I just feel like a mess
Let's tune in.
Music comes on and I am back to that fast beat
imagining my world and myself winning
walking over the troubles and planting new seeds
that's what I do
girl this is you
getting routines done
that's right
it feels great
challenges can come my way
because I got this
everything is going to be ok.
The day is going my way because I didn't come here to play
it's near to the day is done
here we go again
breathe
we can do this
Lets overcome.
but then once it gets quiet
darkness comes back to a form of my reality
thoughts suffocate my mentality
and then I can't move
I can't breathe
Back to the woman who deep down inside is fighting to get out of this habitat she created and which she believes is normal
is her reality
Let's go back.
I am not who I used to be
allowing my past events to be a chaotic form of being present
but I am not at my best
allowing excuses
maybe this is a lesson
breathe.
Lets not give up.
