Breathe

And then the doorbell rings
Somebody asks you
Could you spare a little time
To feel the weight that's mine
To lower down your guard
Yeah that your heart gets snagged
Caught in the wheels & dust dragged
Dangled over the edge
Breathe.
You feel you're in too deep
So offer up some crumb & drop it in the tin
Then slither back within
Your crenelated wealth
Your educated self
Your family your rude health
& all the joy that it brings
& aren't we forgetting something
Feet out on the ledge
& breathe.
Breathe.
Then in the heat of noon
It finds you like some dog
Got parked up in a field
Hermetically sealed
& scratching at the windshield
& howling at the glass
At anyone might walk past
Were you not aware
The sea of broken lives
Mechanics doctors housewives
Feet out on the ledge
& breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
