Let me breathe

`

Let me breathe

Set me free

Its too tight in here

Where I lie

All folded up

Hurting with things

That happened years ago

And should be long shed

But they are ghostly echoes

That haunted me

Along a corridor of years

The rivulets inside my body soul

A river that was dammed

Set your water course flow

Through me

I am not meant to be a stagnant pond

Of painful poisons that repeat

I was born to be the rolling river

Or at least flow

To a happier destination

Darkness

Too many years ago

You drowned me under your blanket of pain

Just because I witnessed suffering

Doesnt mean I need to be suffering endlessly

I was born to fly

Or at least know hope for a time

In time

It may all come crashing down

But please life

For this moment

Set me free

Let me breathe

Help me shed this overcoat of pain

That no longer fits

And traps me inside

A dead and deadening place

Give me instead robes of turquiose and gold

Spin me instead

A silken skein of love

That I can cast

A dream upon
