Breathe...

Open up my lungs
Let them breathe
The air of a new day
Lift this hundred pound boulder off my fragile chest
The crushing weight
 suffocates me

Left breathless in this cloud of smoke
A dense haze of unfulfilled purpose
Seems to follow me
Downpours of anxiety
tighten around my chest
and like an anaconda
wrapping
Words of melancholy
constrict me
Predispositioned fatality
binds me

Falsehood entraps me
Seducing you into only seeing the storm
Oblivious to the unveiling sunlight
That’s slowly awakening

Open up my lungs
Let them breathe in
The air of a new day
Lift this hundred pound boulder off my fragile chest
The crushing weight
suffocates me

Aloud I cry
a repentant plea
Open my lungs
Let them breathe
Voice trembling
Troubled thoughts kill my confidence
And like a nine thousand pound elephant
sitting upon me
Pressure accumilates
Strained breaths escape me

Open up my lungs
Let them breathe in
The air of a new day
Lift this hundred pound boulder off my fragile chest
The crushing weight
 suffocates me

Comfort, Oh, Comfort,
my people,
you say,
Your iniquities have been cleaned,
boulder lifted
This warfare has ended
Now open up your lungs
and breathe

Still

It hurts, but I’m still smiling I’m tired, but I’m still fighting My eyes sting, I’m still searching I can’t hear, My hearts is listening I can’t walk, yet I’m still standing Sometimes the pain and hurt make me blind But in my heart I know You’ll shine that light No matter how lost I feel you won’t ever leave me behind I’ve been lied to, But I still believe In that tune he sang My heart plays it for me I’m heart broken, I still manage to love I feel betrayed, I still open my arms I’m wounded and bruised, I still try to walk I will take that step Knowing I may once again fall

And though words won’t ever suffice To communicate,  Clarify,  The peace I feel in giving you  This wrangled, broken heart of mine I shall do my best to show you What those scattered, simple note’s Song sounds like Yes, you’re the Beauty that keeps me reaching  The smile beneath my tears The hidden road pointed out to me after all these years; Your imperfections only add  To the light reflecting from your smile Your flaws -the cracks through which His Love shines  You’re the hallelujah  In my song’s reprise
