Breathe
Breathe my child, refuse to accept defeat
Pull yourself up from, the waters that you’re under
It may feel like the motions, are on cycles of repeat
Figure it out; don’t let your mind set in wonder
I know it feels like you can’t, just come up for air
My child, my dear sweet child
Breathe
Breathe my child, when those memories arise
The flashbacks of the terrors that are now the mares
Mares of the night, the stolen voice and unheard cries
If you are worrying, the feeling that your heart tears
Dry your eyes and straighten up your face
My child, my young, innocent child
Breath
Breathe my child, when they hurt you
When they terrorize and attack your character
Remember where you were before they came into
Your life and made you feel less chipper
But you are good enough; remember to be if not better
My child, my sad, insecure child
Breathe
Breathe my child, when he raises his hand
Remember you’ve endured worse, he is not stronger
He is weak, just as they are and he is not a man
He can’t make you stay any longer
Stand up for yourself little soldier, it’s over
My child, my scared, strong child
Breathe
Breathe my child, when you feel alone
Feel the presence around you; it’s the ones you love
Don’t be so obscure, make yourself known
You are a human, not a super saiyan, you’re not above
Don’t keep that weight, don’t make yourself desolate
My child, my lonely, cryptic child
Breathe
Breathe my child, when you’re in pain
Don’t let that anger surface itself again, put it away
Decline yourself and your mind to do anything in vain
Calm yourself, don’t walk just stay
Keep your temperature below boiling and be happy you are here
My child, my angry, bleeding child
Breathe
Breathe my child, for no one can see now
Not one person can see who you are
I want to know; I just don’t understand how
You pushed them all away, making yourself distant and far
They don’t know the truth behind you, it’s not written on your forehead
My child, my mysterious, detached child
Breathe
Breathe my child, you are a new creature
You are not what you used to be, or where
You are something changed every crevice and feature
Humble yourself and let down your pride, make yourself bare
It’s okay to love again to trust again, just remember your lessons
My child, my new, content child
Breathe
