#calmdown
I understand there will be times the words I say won't be the ones you hear.
And you might lash out in anger
disguised as fear.
Fear that one day, we'll fight, I'll leave,
and never come back.
But once you calm down, like you always do,
I'll be there to remind you that sometimes, words get lost in translation.
And it's OK, because it happens to everyone.

A life played on taut strings,
high-pitched and staccato
to breathlessness,
a break-necked tempo
that often feigns chest pains
and the vice hand we 3AM anticipate
Find a way to twist the machine head,
hear the cartoon sound effect
of boinging down
so your strum sounds loose,
slow, forgotten,
truth

1...
I try my best to breathe and count to ten.
2...
I'm trying everything so I can feel again.
3...
The shaking comes and I can't seem to stop it.
4...
All of my thoughts are just telling me to commit.
5...
I'm trying my best to see the beauty in life.
6...
But all I can focus on is the glistening knife.
7...
My thoughts become empty as I reach for my heart.
8...
My head is clear and I'm no longer falling apart.
9...
I'm no longer afraid of death, I welcome it with open arms.
10...
Now I don't even have to worry about the silent alarms.

one, two, three, breathe
one, two, three, breathe out
it's all in my head
that's what i keep reciting to myself
it's all in my head
but if it's all in my head
why is my heart pounding so loud?
it feels like it might just fall out

I wish I could
t a k e o f f
Leave my worries
b e h i n d
To somewhere we're all

No break
d o w n s
No more
"c a l m d o w n s"
Somewhere

Somewhere I can be...

I wake up when the morning takes its first few breaths and it guides my lungs along,
it says;
breathe, breathe child,
it's true you're in the bottom bulb of the hourglass,
but it's not the sand you're drowning in,
it's your thoughts.

If I would have a fight with you
I'd suddenly smile and calm down
You'd say: Wait! I am not yet done!
You and I? No! We are not through!
I'd say: Okay, if you say so...
I only looked you in the face
Despite the anger and the frown
I still can see beauty and grace
And then the fight would really end
With a deep kiss, and long embrace...

You say we're different
I say we're the same
We both have feelings
And we both have a brain
We both have ten fingers
Two eyes and one nose
We both have a smile
And we both have ten toes
But what about those
Who have no nose
And they can't stand up
Cause they have no toes
What about those
Who's smiles are dead
Because it was their turn
to have C4 strapped to their heads
What about those
Who have no rights
No choice at all
When it comes to their life
So, I hereby propose
That we all get along
Calm the **** down
And take a hit off my ****
Cause this world is messed up
Duh, we all got the memo
Lets all just be friends
Chill out, HELLO!?

There is a cacophony of verbal combustion;
Self esteem destruction,
Religions, opinions, forced down left and right,
Leaves one with such distress,
That sometimes we forget to breathe.
__________
So breathe with me.
Breathe with me.
