Be Myself And Breathe
I can’t breathe
Never have I such the need
To just to be myself and breathe
Sit in silence
The only sound
wind shaking tree’s
the midnight breeze
just be myself and breathe
When I was quiet or when I was loud
they threw me down on the ground
they hung chimes in my soul
then told me not to make a sound
the pulled me up
like a weed
I had to scream
I had to leave
I had to be myself and breathe
I was playing outside that day
then I had to run away
I could see
I had to flee
I had to be myself and breathe
I put my hands up
they still proceed
with executioners speed
I couldn’t be myself and breathe
I was in my bed
dreaming deep
they broke in
they did their deed
I couldn’t be myself and breathe
I was driving home
in pitch-black night
then I saw all their lights
I had to seethe
I need to speed
I had to be myself and breathe
they did misread
they did stampede
they did succeed
to make me bleed
I couldn’t be myself and Breathe
my blood is red
just like theirs
they’re the one’s who decreed
that I’m a different creed
that I can never be myself and breathe
They pulled me over
they took my car
they put me behind the bars
five days I sat
terrified indeed
when I was released
I was relieved
To be alive to leave
to be myself and breathe
We are a seed
Who’s growth
They must impede
Guaranteed
We are agreed
We need to be ourselves and Breathe
