Space To Breathe
Through images in a menagerie.
I live responding to sounds found only in bottom energy
Still, again and again, I rebound
As I claw my way through darkness, loneliness
Pain in my heart and mind flowing in excess
Because my options are limited
And my mind is at recess.
I am so desperately searching, as I run to and fro.
Looking for a sanctuary, I can call my home
And move on from being suspended in limbo.
I need space to spread my wings before I die
You can’t tell me I wasn’t created to fly.
Just keep watching you will see I am real
Though fragmented are my dreams, I remember still,
and one day soon fly, I will.
I need today, someone to look my way
Tell me you see me,
respond as if, to you, I am still alive.
I need one, just one shoulder to lean on
Support and motivation that will give me a reprieve
And to give me some space to breathe.
