Breathing

Sometimes I can't speak
Or all I can do is scream,
Almost never out of anger
Just to make sure you're listening

Rarely have I had
People bring up things so strong
Dredging up everything
To tell me that I'm wrong

You frustrate beyond
What I thought I could ever take
Running me through the wringer
Until I feel I might break

Yet when I get a second
A moment just to me
I cover my ears, close my eyes
And ask myself what I see

The answer rarely varies
It always involves you
So I take my breaths in slowly
Ask my center what to do

As my resolution strengthens
The calm washes through
Helping my clear the path
Past things I would let stew

At the end of every surge
The only thing I want
Is to find myself in your arms,
Everything else is too much
