Waiting to Exhale
Slow down for a moment and take a second to breathe
Inhale the fresh feeling of words you should heed.
Place yourself inside your mind
It is the chance to revisit your dreams
Turn father time’s hands back around
To that moment where your face could truly beam
Lift yourself onto the clouds
Sore through your lost heaven
Mix the yeast in with the dough
So that your heavy heart may leaven
Open your eyes to the piercing glory
Cast away the sheathe of fear
Know that you have never lost
You have won, you are in the clear
Submerge your being in the roaring river
Let it wash away the slime of doubt
Dry the damp in the grinning sun
As the light marks your route
All that lies before you now
Is the clear path to what you truly miss
Not the emptiness of pseudo-freedom
But the fulfillment of that someone’s kiss
Embrace the truth and truly search
Prowl the sky for where you are
Look into the mirror you will soon find
And realize you are a star
Immerse your intellect in this vision
Sit at your throne and shine from above
Relinquish the peril of brain’s confusion
And follow the heart to your one true love
Be guided by these forces and your efforts will not fail
Swim swiftly to your jewel, waiting… to exhale
