In Every Day Life of a Weak Heart

Every little breath counts 
In and out 
Hard headed heart 
Short of air don’t come easy
Blood flow pumping pressure to high 
To bare not a ware danger is near
Red light spells fear for those who
Hold you dear

Breathing is a tough fight 
That cant be right 
Slow heart beats causing it to sleep
white coats try to prescribe awake up
Call to stay alive 

Recovery is a hole bunch of pills to swallow 
Putting it all out there bills in the mail
The stress sets in of in every day life 
Moving to fast to catch up

Slowing down is not in option 
Work Sleep Eat seems to be a regular routine
To stay a float a head above water  
These are the times when nothing matters
But to keep a Roof Food Clothing and your Health above 
All God For in time it will All get harder 

The Heart Can Take But So Much
