Breathe
I'm searching & I'm grasping for one last breathe
I just have to say, is it all worth it?
I know you see my story, & the pain is just real
Loving me so endless, on my bad days it's hard to feel
Must things be so cruel, yet so full of love
I'm trying to understand, simply rise above
Would have spoken sooner, but it seems kind of odd
Speaking to the wind, hoping that there is a God
Cast away these cares, please listen to this prayer
I'm tired of the struggle, seeing so unfair
I have to depend on you & no one else
Help save me from this pit I'm drowning in
I only want good health
I keep swimming to the top, but falling back again
A never ending story that's my life & I know its not the end
About this poem
I wrote this at time in my life when I felt I couldn't go on.
