Just a Feeling
By Morning Star

It’s just the darkness—
turn on the light.
A feeling is fleeting,
a storm in the night.
It moves if you move,
so breathe and begin—
you are not broken,
you are not sin.

But still—
I’m so tired,
I can’t seem to breathe.
The world is too loud,
too much for me.
The time has come,
I whisper goodbye.
I want to go.
I want to die.

Wait—
it’s just a feeling.
It’s not a fact.
Take one more breath,
don’t look back.
Count to three,
hold on tight—
but the fear is still here,
hiding from light.

I feel the beat
of a frightened heart,
pounding through
each falling part.
I want to run.
I want to hide.
To vanish clean
from all inside.

But if I try—
close my eyes,
release the ache,
let it die...
Take it out,
leave it behind.
Start to pray,
maybe I’ll find—

the fear will fade,
the shadows sway,
and I will rise
into the day.
Dear god, hold me—
I don’t want to die.
It’s just a feeling.
Let it pass me by.
