Stay Alive

Life is moving so fast..
I am wanting to catch on...
But my wheels of emotions aren't turning the way I would like them..
They halt...they stall...they screech...they breach the peace I wish to feel within...
Little things hold me back...
Big things force me to go on...
I wish to breathe when I am expected to sprint..
I have the need to just lie down...when I am expected to fly...
Where do I go for the courage that I need...
Where do I go for the glory that the world seeks in me...
The burden is an invisible one..
Shackeled by responsibilities and expectations...
Not just what others want...
It's also what I crave for...
So just one day...
I pause..
I halt...
I get myself together...
Line up my thoughts...
Feel my emotions...
Let my mind calibrate...not the expectations but the joy..the happiness...the peace...
I let my body catch up..
I let my soul enjoy the silence in the chaos...
I stand still...in this speed to life..
I stay alive to live...to breathe...to flourish...to grow...to fly...
I stay alive for me...
