This chapter is a song that was written by Lizzie Read during the second month of quarantine in order to help a friend who was struggling with anxiety at the time.
Maybe I shouldn't live
Maybe I should leave or go away
Maybe if I die
Everything would be okay
But what will it save
If I let the demons win
And who's heart will cave
If I leave now rather than then
So I will breath
In and out and in
Breath
Let yourself begin again
Breath
Letting go of troubles past
Breath
Allow these feelings to pass
Maybe I'm not the best I can be
Maybe would be better off dead
But how will I know without trying
The rest of my life is ahead
If I learn how to smile
How to somehow purge this curse
I could kill this monster
And the world would be none the worse
But the first step is breath
In and out and in
Just breath
Let yourself begin again
Breath
And let go of your past
Breath
Allow these feelings to pass
And even is no one loves me
I will learn to hold myself close
I'm setting my heart free
Remembering to accept is to let go
Let go and just
Breath
Lean back
Learn to Breath
And I can breath
In and out and in
Breath
Allow my life to begin again
I will breath
Leaving behind a troubled past
And breath
Breath and let your feelings pass
