Breathe

So she runs Knowing that she can't bear Anything more Than what she's seen And the things She's endured There was always The promise of change but that always had its way Of slippng through the desperate fingers Of the girl Who wanted it Needed it most Hungry for her chance To find a piece of the world She could finally stand on top of Without being torn down Or restrained From tossed around Undecided decisions That were always made for her This broken Fragile girl And her caged in soul Who always worried What tomorrow would bring her Knowing how helplessly lost She should be Then seeing She's not so lost after all Just misguided And she can only hold her tongue For so long Before she finally speaks her mind And suddenly Everything that's ever held her back And Everyone whose ever tried to tie her down Is no longer a threat But instead She'll use them As a stepping stone To reach the next chapter Of this life And find her purpose That back then She necver thought existed And she'll make her own decisions And decide what's best for herself Because nothing else will matter When she reaches The piece of ground That she can finally stand on top of And breathe For the very first time.
