Deep breaths, try right now
Don’t get so caught up that you forget the sensation
Open the curtains and let in the sunlight
Don’t focus on how much the rays will scald
Try to slow the pounding heart rhythm
If you don’t it will only get worse
Step up and remind yourself you can
You can get free from suffocation
Life isn’t over, it’s only beginning
Don’t torch every last drop of hope
Before hope has the chance to flourish
It is so easy to forget the calm
So hard to breathe deeply and to think clearly
Freedom seems far away, but it is within reach
If hope is allowed to prevail, you will too
Torching hope is to end the adventure
To smother the flame is to set adventure free
