Breathe again

I forgot what it felt like To breathe without the weight Every night, felt like a war inside my head. Every step, another thread ready to snap again. I carried every ghost you left behind, Until the darkness started eating me alive, I was sinking deeper Numb to everything, Heart full of static, Chest too tight to sing. But somewhere in the silence I heard my pulse return Now I can breathe again, Feel the air fill up my lungs, I was buried underneath the pain, But I found myself inside the flames, I won’t break beneath the weight, After all the hell I’ve seen I can finally breathe. I spent so long, inside a prison of regret. Held down by every word, I should’ve never kept But scars don’t mean the end of me, They’re proof I survived what tried to bury me. This pressure, it cracked my bones But it couldn’t kill my hope, I was crawling through the smoke, Now I’m finally letting go! I CAN BREATHE AGAIN! For the first time in forever, The weight is lifting off my chest, And even if the scars remain, I know I’m not finished yet! Now I can breathe again, Feel the light beneath my skin, I was lost inside this storm for years Now the sky is finally clear, I survived the darkest days, Found the strength I thought had changed, After everything I’ve seen, I can finally breathe!
