Learning to Breathe

Inhale (the past is a mere reminder)
Exhale (the future is only at stake)
Remembering
Anger and dissapointement,
Spilling over the seam.
An attept to conciel the pain,
No slight gain
and remembering to breathe the name.
I am no longer left alone,
I've decided it's too hard to breathe on my own.
So I am learning to breathe.

Inhale (tomorrow is a new day)
Exhale (i have nothing left to say)
for in this world there are only so many jokers,
only so many who will say,
its never too late at the end of the day,
to start over
learning to breathe.

I'll cut my hair,
Change my name,
forget the reminder of all the pain.
I'll live this life the way he did,
i'll love,
i'll loose,
i'll remember to give.

Inhale (i can't help but love you)
Exhale (but now i know that its alright)
i know its fine to scoff and fight.
I will always love,
be confused only to have things clarified,
be hurt only to captured in an adoring smile,
that will take away all doubt,
be strugging to breathe only to loose breathe,
beginning to learn how to breathe.

I will live on,
crying a little,
loving alot.
Showing no pain,
growing a heart.
Gasping for breathe,
not knowing how.
Learning to breathe,
Cause nothing else matters now.
