I can't breathe

I Can’t Breathe (2020)

I can’t breathe!

I can’t leave.

I’m not free…

Only appeased with no peace.

God, please send relief.

Progress is so slow.

I can’t learn, so I can’t grow.

I can’t go.

God, please reconnect me to what I know.

Life has been a long journey to nowhere.

This can’t be fair.

All I do is stare.

It’s all blank with no dare.

God, please give me any sign that you care.

I’m still here.

I have zero fear.

The demons are so near.

They are in my ear.

God, please give me a direction in which to steer.

I just can’t breathe.

Where is my reprieve?

God, where is our reprieve?

God, where is our reprieve?
