I Can Breathe Again
Locations
There are days when I can't get out of bed
When I can't seem to focus on one thing
When the only thing I want
I can't have, I can't do, I can't even begin to understand
Sometimes the can't part of me overwhelms the can
Sometimes I lose that battle and I accomplish nothing
But then there are days where the can destroys the can't
And for one day, I'm unstoppable from dawn to dusk
It's a healing process that everyone goes through
When a breather needs to be taken
When little things become accomplishments in their own merit
To relax, to calm, to let the dust settle before starting again
What keeps me going is the times when I can breathe
When time can still move forward, quickly or slowly
But how fast time moves doesn't concern me
My concern is how I'll spend that time I've taken
It doesn't matter what I can do, or what I can't
In that moment, what matters is that I can breathe again
In that moment, my desire to be my best doesn't suffocate, only heals
And in that moment, I'm free from the things that plague me.
