Have you ever downed that bottle, in it the most bitter of drinks that could burn your throat to ashes...
Have you ever taken that blade, watched yourself bleed over and over...
Have you ever snapped and screamed out so loud, the world took you to an asylum...
Have you ever cried, minutes and hours days that your tears stop flowing and only your heart groans...
Have you ever felt so much pain deep inside, that there was Nothing else left to Fear?

...I have been there, am there, often...
But am slowly,
Coming alive again.
My skin is healing.
I  Breath.

There will come a time
Whilst you are walking through this world
When you find yourself facing
So much,
Each step you take you fear
That it will be in isolation,
Do not fret,
You will never be alone.
They say angels guide you,
Tracing your footsteps
And holding you by the hand
As you continue to grow,
Continue to flourish and thrive.
When the storm hits the shore
And you are saturated
By the tears of your insecurities
Remember that they are always
Within your reach,
A shoulder to cry on,
A haven where you can
Anchor yourself
And ride out the storm
In tranquillity and safety,
You will always be
Protected by copious
Efforts of compassion
And love,
Forget the monsters under your bed,
There will always be those
Whose hearts glow
Like night lights while
You dream of kingdoms
And ride the waves
Of your inner desires.

Never be afraid,
One day the world
Will be yours,
And it will welcome
You with open arms.

*Just like the angels who helped you grow

Iron cast and weighing me down,
These lungs filled with air,
Take me from the ground,
Lift me up above the clouds,
High above the moon,
The wind and rain are the only sounds.

Anchored to the seabed,
These lungs have filled with water,
Fish and memories swim through my head,
Watch me fall apart and rest,
A shipwrecked soul and covered in coral,
Locked away inside a treasure chest.

A desert storm and I'm still lost,
These lungs are filled with sand,
Each grain inhaled comes at a cost,
Flip me over like an hourglass,
Watch the time fall away,
Lungs die down and breaths never last.
