breathe

Like waking up from a horrible dream
The shadows on the wall are no longer what they seem
No more demons that haunt me in my sleep
My nightmares a distant past in the heap

I take with me my fears in a bag
Take them and throw them away just like that
No more tears and burdens to drag
My walls burned down, the wind comes at me as the best feeling I ever had

Free to be just me and no one to tell me who I'm to be
I look around at what I’ve been missing and see
All I turned my back to for all this time
Just to see that all that hatred and pain was mine

New to all this, I take a while to really be aware
Of the consequences my decisions made appear
It takes me some time to realize that no one is at fault but me
And I blamed the world for the harsh cruelty

Taken aback by the shear truth of my own words
I end up no where like two evenly matched clashing swords
But someone takes my hand and pulls me through
Gives me a little advice and whispers into my ear
“Just breathe…”
