Just Breathe
There’s a beauty in solitude
Sitting quietly
Letting the world pass by
No controlling
No judgment
Just being
Sitting by myself
But not alone
The world is happening all around
Going on as if I’m not here at all
Trying to find peace within myself
So I can find peace in the world
Just sit
Just breathe
Destroying other lives
Somewhere I lost my way
When exactly it was I can’t recall
When I needed direction
You were not there
When I needed a hand up
You were not there
Somewhere I lost my way
You let me wander aimlessly
Lost, alone and frightened
Screaming out in pain
Screaming for you to see me
Screaming for you to help me
You turned a deaf ear
I was my own problem
Not yours
You never had the time
You were too busy
Destroying other lives
As long as you can
Sitting and looking for creativity
But creativity is not something you can sit and wait for
It won’t come looking for you
You must get up and get outside yourself to find it
You must pursue it
Hunt it down and grab hold of it
Ride it for all you can
Because there are days
You just can’t find it
But on the days that you do
Hold on
As long as you can
Love is you
Like an angel
You came into my life
You were there when I needed you most
You guided me through the darkest hours of my life
Like a lighthouse shining
You kept me from the rocky shores of destruction
Through all those long stormy nights
You showed me a better path
A path filled with love and happiness
You were the angel I needed then
You are the angel I still need today
You showed me what love is
Love is you
