Breathe
Everything slows
Almost to a complete stop
Now...
Now, I can...
Now, I can hear my heart pounding
In both my ears
I'm staring at this blank canvas
As my sins paint
A beautifully dark portrait of myself
I've knelt down
Broken all my rules
Then decided to
Love myself
Because no one else could love me
The way I deserve to be loved
The suns setting
It's becoming dark in my house
But the thoughts that drench
My cranium walls
Pour out like rain
On one of those gloomy
Saddened days
Sometimes I can't control
The anger that fills me
Then on others I find the light
Remembering to just breathe
No one thing can be perfect
Especially not a person
Then why expect so much from one person?
I can't sit here expecting
Perfect,
From a perfectly imperfect person
It's like expecting
Someone whose never been taught to love
To love like they've always felt loved
Or someone who has never been hurt
To love like they've never been hurt
It simply just doesn't work
Sometimes closing you're eyes
Then taking that extra mile
To inhale deeply
And exhale
This could be that life you're searching
Desperate for
