I want to breathe
feel a freedom in my breath
unhindered by feelings of panic
that creep up and strangle me from within
I want to live and see a bright day
when life doesn't seem to shoot my soul
and laugh bitterly and say eat me
I want to turn around in the rain
and feel the drops cool my skin
and not invade my cells drowning my heart
I want to live the sweet life people talk about
where success and joy seems to come easy
and there's a sense of belonging
