(best read out loud)
Breathe in; breathe out
Breathe out hold relax pause
Gently breathe in and let
The air pass through you …
I swallowed a grain
A grain of sand
A sand of grain
That caused a pain
I hid it down deep
Deep inside
Inside down deep
A secret to keep
Breathe in; breathe out
Breathe out hold relax pause
Gently breathe in and let
The air pass through you …
A hurt that swelled
Swelled and grew
Grew and swelled
Noone to tell
I built a wall
A wall around
Around a wall
Safe and sound
Breathe in; breathe out
Breathe out hold relax pause
Gently breathe in and let
The air pass through you …
Until
One small tiny, tender shoot of a root
Crept quietly
Wrigglingly squirming worming
Through the cracky gap
Rested
Waited
Watched
Touched
Embraced
Cared
Breathe in; breathe out
Breathe out hold relax pause
Gently breathe in and let
The air pass through you …
You named that pain
That pain of shame
That shame of pain
And whence it came
You held me tight
Switched the light
Lighted the switch
And made me fight
Cold hard foolish truth
Crumbled to dust
Leaving only scars behind
Breathe in; breathe out
Breathe out hold relax pause
Gently breathe in and let
The air pass through you …
Inside out
