Breathe

It’s as simple

As daisies need the sun

It’s as easy as summer rain

Making you sing in glee with warmth

You scream your heart out

But only into your pillow

So others don’t see your pain

You radiate the sun with all its warmth

When you feel like a rain cloud on a good day

You stomp the leaves on the street

To get out some of the anger

You want to kick and scream

But that’s not something that's proper

You live your life to others' opinions

And then wonder why you feel so empty

Inside your chest is a beating heart

But you feel a void that’s so heavy

You can’t people please them to love you

You know that, 

But still, you try

It’s the definition of insanity

But you still think you’ll get by

What is freedom

When all you do is live for other people

You skate by in life 

cry in the moonlight

You want to dance and scream 

But you stay still instead

You want to yell out to the world

“ Here I am, whether you like it or not”

But you still don’t feel like you are enough

You fear that the people in your life don’t love you

Their steps leave footprints on your heart

You breathe shallow breaths

In case they decide to walk out of your life

you’ve become strangers to those you used to love deeply

They left you behind

Strong connections 

Now crumbled into dust

You blame yourself

You feel like you’re the one always wrong

No one understands you

You don’t let yourself be seen

You hide behind unshed tears

Drown your sorrows with rum & beer

On the bad days 

You wish you weren’t here

You tremble when you breathe slow

It’s hard to let go

Of these thoughts inside

That breathe life into you

Even when they aren’t true
