Desperate Breathing

by rachel   Jan 30, 2005


Craving for cleansing air, I thrust myself forward
Wanting the heavens, I try to move onward
Thirsting for a draft, a clean supple breeze
Moving onward, will not be achieved with such ease

Clutching my throat, I cannot catch a whiff
Thoughts roaming through my head, thinking, what if
I’m desperate for some pure wind, to un-infect my soul
To wash away my sins, once more make me whole

Trying to grasp life’s concept, I can’t comprehend
Is this what it’s going to be like, in the very end?
Attempting to breathe in, the strength that I need
This dirty atmosphere here, on me it does feed

Fresh air come my way, I beg for your compassion
Please give me what I crave, my new life I’ll put into action
I want for your oneness, for your pleasing touch
Just give me one more chance, I don’t need that much

Sky don’t spite me this way, I’ve been through the rough
Heavens don’t turn your back; please I’ve had enough
Don’t gag me to lifelessness, I can’t handle anymore grieving
Please take note, look at my desperate breathing
