Breathe Lyrics

This poem is dedicated to me

It is my path to a brighter perspective

Meander down it with me

Feel each step release you from what you were

As you start to see another way to be

Welcome to the new earth

Everyone eats for free

No one asks you for conformity

Only authenticity without uniform

This road will teach you

That trying to be normal is trying to fit into a mould of perfection

No one has ever been able to achieve

Fallen icons are just as infallible as the rest of us

Just look at Bowie and his drug dependency

How is he any different from the residents of LA's tent city?

He was a star, shining in the spotlight

In the dark, he wrestled with psychosis

What hope does the rest of us have in this world of obscurity and expectation?

Our values are invalid

Societal demands are unwarranted

Stop denying your true nature

Set fire to the facades

Find no apology in your expression

Find the humour in seriousness

Laugh through the smoke

as constructs crumble around you

And those who don't share your vision scream

Through fear of losing the system

After they've invested in it for so long

It takes courage

To stay true to the world

This complex phenomenon

Loosely defined by time and space

Grace will get you there

Canter at your own pace

You can't change the nature of humanity single-handedly

You'll need to accept the monkey-see-monkey-do mentality

In this fish eat fish town

Savages walk amongst us

You don't need to fall in line with them

Or allow them to consume your time

Look for the positivity amidst the chaos in society that influences us to be worthless

The truth is that we are worthy

We're all learning lessons

Moving as meditative regressions

We're the result of endless timelines ventures

Find your centre

Find your place

Find your worth

Don't look to pre-existing values

And the insecurities that bleed through the cracks of our society

Look to your soul to tell you what you need

Most of the time

You'll find that you simply need to breathe
