Just Breathe

I always have this unrelenting urge to write
Always have, and possibly always will
But that doesn't mean I always have words
I don't always have what I want to say in a way I want to say it
It's never just that easy

Just breathe
And maybe it will get easy

I have words
But I have no story
I have memories
But no recollection of them really
I have dreams
But no aspirations to follow

Just breathe
And maybe it will get easy

I used to believe in God
Until I realized I believed
Simply to please others
I wasn't believing
To benefit myself at all

Just breathe
And maybe it will get easy

When everything you are
Is lost,
Do you really know who you are?
Or have you forgot?

Breathing doesn't make it easy,
But it helps you crawl along your path.
Even if it isn't yet what you want to be,
You're still on that path to somewhere.

Just breathe
And the rest will come easier.
