Just Breathe
Breathe in
and out
again and again
that same old phrase
I am so sick and tired of it
It doesn't solve the world crisis
the ongoing problems
and whatever stress is occuring at the moment
I.Can't.Take.It.Anymore.
but why
why are we so divided
we never were meant for this constant pain
we were meant for good
not evil
and yet here it is knocking on my door
I scream go away
it opens the door
you see you can't "just breathe"
it doesn't work
All it does is delay the inevitable
I guess though everyone
is okay with that though
but I am not and I will will fight against the injustice
so come with me and take a stand
for your family
friends
yourself
let us face the problems
no more running from the truth
life was meant for good
and it is us who owe the world it's truth
