Breathe Just Breathe

It takes a lot out of me to be angry
I feel the tension building up in my chest
I want to explode
Sometimes I feel it might come out physical
instead of verbal

I'm going to let everything go
Everything from the past that haunts me
it's over now
I like the calm feeling that I know I can achieve
I shake it off and think with a clear mind

I'm going to be a lot stronger
this time around
and I'm not going to settle for things
I don't feel it right
I only hope for you to do the same
