Breathe
Miguel Angel Oroyo Perez
Feel the world spinning too quickly now
Like a bird trapped in a cage somehow
Every second weighs like winter's longest day
But remember this: You will be okay
Close your eyes and follow my voice
Let's count slowly: One two three
Breathe in deep (like waves on the shore)
Breathe out slow (let the wind soar)
Remember, friend: You're not dying here
You're just learning how to persevere
Breathe in
Let go
Fear is like smoke
That fades away
You're vast as sky
Steady and strong
This storm will pass
Won't last long
Your mind's a garden space
Anxiety's just weeds
Beneath the tangled vines
Fresh flowers wait to breathe
You're not your racing thoughts
Not defined by fear
You're the peaceful space
Between far and near
Today I'm brave though trembling still
Today I choose to stay until
Tomorrow brings a gentler way
To face each passing day
And if darkness returns
I know its name
You don't control me
You're just anxiety
