Inhale, Exhale, Eyes Closed

Cleansing breath Clearing mind Start out fresh Leave all behind Inhale till I'm full Exhale to be empty Close eyes to be clear Get rid of all memory Inhale, exhale, eyes closed I wait to feel relief But my chest feels worse And sights begin to haunt me Congested, I can't breathe Like I haven't ever exhaled Or my heart has clogged And my lungs have failed At war in darkness Open eyes brought more peace Like a movie put on inside "The Life and Death of Me" I take off in attempt Foot in front of foot Forward in escape But ahead of me it stood I wake up from a blackout Open eyes to see defeat I guess I'd have to face it sometime So I'll take a front row seat May 2010
