One Deep Breath

In a crowd, feel so alone
Voices around, I'm on my own
Stories, dreams, they weigh me down
In their noise, I feel I'll drown

Everywhere here is another's world
Emotion high, all desires swirl
I need a place where I can see
A sanctuary to set me free

One deep breath, I must escape
And find myself, a real quiet place
Where my mind can rid itself of fear
Then calmly make my life path appear

This place's din, it isn't right
In the chaos, I will lose my fight
For peace, for calm, a silent shore
A refuge where I can explore

People's lives entwine, far too tight
I need to break free, to take flight
To a place where every spirit soars
Away from noise, from banging doors

One deep breath, I must escape
And find myself, a real quiet place
Where my mind can rid itself of fear
Then calmly make my life path appear

Out in the stillness, is my voice
Out in the silence, make my choice
Then live a life that's truly mine
Find a space where I can shine

One deep breath, I must escape
And find myself, a real quiet place
Where my mind can rid itself of fear
Then calmly make my life path appear
