The tears well up before I can even get words In 21 seconds The simplicity so mundane overlooked Yet time was taken? My mind plays tricks on me again tossing it around the puzzling and bewildering in my mind stir up the peace The peace I just found thrown out losing what I just got trying to keep it but knowing the battles lost the oil on my hands My hands, Couldn't carry the pieces I'm not responsible for The air fills my lungs Breathe It is well

Honestly, don't remember if I posted this one before It's from the archive
