Breathe
At least try
Relax
At least try

Listen to the sounds
Of rustling leaves and birds
Drink in the sunlight
A calm breeze cooling your skin

Breath
Just a deep breath
Ignore
All those noisy thoughts

Do you smell the wet earth?
The fresh cut grass and flowers
Take a deep breath
And settle down

Breathe
Until your mind stops to shout
Breathe
Until it gets easier
When it's too much I like to go outside, away from everything and let myself calm down in nature
Raven Jun 2020
Can’t take it easy, not this time
Watch, I am covered in all this grime
Wish it was easy, just this time
Hear, I am wheezing a mournful whine

I think I will let myself fall
The way down is not so long
I never reached your height, never was tall
I never was as strong and now I’m gone

In the end
I wish I could see
But there is nothing to mend
And no reason to flee

In the end
I wish I could feel
There is no reason to stand
Or even to kneel

In the end
We all die alone
To death we bend
Lost without a home

Now it seems so easy to me
I let myself glide through the wind
Maybe...
This is my only chance to be free

I cry into the night
save me
save me

I feel so much fright
hide me
hide me

I am always too cold
I've got no one to hold
I want to cry into the night
I want to hide all my fright

I crash my knees into the ground
please
oh please

My sobbing the only sound
I beg you
I beg

I am always too cold
I've got no one to hold
I want to cry into the night
I want to hide all my fright

I imagine my death
maybe
maybe

I try to hold my breath
not enough
not enough

I am always too cold
I've got no one to hold
I want to cry into the night
I want to hide all my fright

Get me to safety
I'm no one for bravery
I've got too much to carry
I am timid and weary
Raven May 2020
What if I just don't know?
What if life is too much?
When I hate decisions,
Am afraid of expectations,
Detest forced exhibition.
When no one is close to you anymore,
What am I even working for?
Am I still working anymore?
I think I just don't know anymore.
Raven Mar 2020
If my feelings were written in words
The lines would never end

A never ending story
Of pages filled with nothing
And everything at once

As if my life was nothing more
And without wouldn't be at all

Now everything that is
Sits quietly in your hand
And without a single glance

I am put back
In just another ones dusty shelf
Again
Raven Feb 2020
Gentlest touch
Becoming too much
How will I ever survive

Crumbling down
Back to the ground
I won't get up no more

I am craving
While I'm hating
The ways how you can destroy me
Raven Feb 2020
Drifting through waves
Washing away
I think I am dissolving

Hollowed by streams
Sinking in dreams
Nothing to keep on hoping


And if this
Is what it takes
Then I’m
Giving in, giving in

And if this
Is what it takes
Then I’m
Gone, way long gone


Freezing to numbness
Setting to stone
This seems to be the end now

Losing my way
Everything gray
I guess this is farewell now
