Deep Breath

There’s a weight on my chest
Won’t let me sleep through the night
Tells me all I haven’t done
Got me standing on edge
Unravel into a mess
The day’s only just begun

Everything I’ve built to keep me in
Everything that told me who I am
It all came crashing

Deep breath
The sound of starting over
Take a deep breath
One step
To what’s around the corner
One more step
Until I make it there

Haven’t barely got dressed
Anxiety hunts me down
Won't let me laugh with my friends
My dad tells me don’t stress
But endless thoughts roam my mind
Keep trying to rein them in

All is not lost
Even as I drift far
I know you’ll pick me up
Now I can breath
