Allow me
a moment…to breathe…just breathe…
Here
they go; here they come intent to affect you
The sun
is shining, darkness nowhere near
What is
the purpose for letting them near?
Rise,
and fall and rise again
Allow
the earth to be your friend
Walk
among the shadows but stay within the light
Let not
the demons that invoke anger, bring about the night
Hear
their screams, but quiet the rage
Leave
their words right where they lay
There is
no freedom in running, no escape from the fray
Life
will follow you everywhere until it is taken away
What am
I to be, if I cannot be sane?
Why am I
so immune to serenity and so eternally shrouded in pain?
I’ve got
no place to run, nowhere to go
These
chains that bind me ever slowly take their toll
To disappear,
to fade away if only for a moment
To not
be where I am, to be deaf, and blind to all of this
I just
want a moment’s peace where silence is everywhere
Not a
moment too soon, I would run far, far away from here
Let me
be, just let me go, just let me feel like I’m in control
For a
moment, an instant, just a second in time
Allow me
a moment, where I’m not losing my mind
