(For You, when you don't realise you could lose yourself in hiding:) *. *. *. *. *. *. Slow down just a little bit I'm not even asking for a break Nor secretly hoping for a slight pause No matter how little time you take Breathe a little deeper if you can No need to fight for breath I want you to remember you are alive for once We already know you're at peace with death Stop justifying your transgressions Even if you can always find good reason For your words form chains that wrap unnoticed about your feet Blind to irony, you trap yourself in your own freedom

A Note to Self
(For You, when you don't realise you could lose yourself in hiding:) *. *. *. *. *. *. Slow down just a little bit I'm not even asking for a break Nor secretly hoping for a slight pause No matter how little time you take Breathe a little deeper if you can No need to fight for breath I want you to remember you are alive for once We already know you're at peace with death Stop justifying your transgressions Even if you can always find good reason For your words form chains that wrap unnoticed about your feet Blind to irony, you trap yourself in your own freedom
