BREATHE

I'm walking in a body Two stone lighter I tell you everything around me Is burning brighter Brighter The sun is shining through the trees I'm painting a picture I want you to see Nobody talks about the fighter Who takes a knee Nobody wants to be What nobody wants to see The branches above me Are like black calligraphy Our children's young feet Are kicking up the leaves Kicking up the leaves I remind myself To Breathe I remind myself To Breathe Reykjavik grey concrete Red flags and turning cheek Living in a dissonance Between what you want to be feeling And what you're really feeling And what you're really feeling Neuropathy and Daedalus Therapy and litmus tests Listlessness and medical trials Your father's silence was a cry To be saved from the loneliness You've inherited the same distress Between what you want to be feeling And what you're really feeling And what you're really feeling Loneliness is your north star Hiding in your family car No one really asks how you are You look up at the sky Try to make yourself feel small
