maybe if I close my eyes,
if I stop thinking
Maybe the world will stop turning with me,
like a friend

And in this magnificient pause,
in that glorious stop,

maybe we’ll breathe.

When it hurts to breathe
I have to stop

Don't I?

Standing on the edge of the bridge.
Breathe, just for the last time.
And jump for the last time.

Today the words are too close.
Maybe tomorrow I can breathe again.

I want to drown
I want to breathe the water in
And never breathe out again
I want the salt water to burn the fresh cuts in my wrists
I want the dark to cradle me as I float into never ending sleep
I want to drift off
with no sign of life
I want to drown

Relax, my child
Everything is going to be okay
For I have everything under control

Because nobody is expecting you to be perfect today. All anybody wants from you is that you try to be better tomorrow.

close your eyes
and feel the sea
watch the water
turn blue, green and teal,
let the wind take the lead,
breathe in the sun,
don’t let your sins bleed,
exhale out all the deadlines,
and shine.
