Staring at this enigmatic portrait
I see my reflection looking back at me
I stand here lost in my frustrations
my heart aches as I search intently
trying to find my place in this world
wondering if I belong here
whether or not I'll ever be accepted
no matter what I do in my life
no matter how hard I try
I can never seem to get
my feet off of the ground
sometimes I feel so cursed
like a rock, I try so hard to move
but always find myself stuck
it's so hard to breathe
my tears fall hard like rain
I feel my body starting to tremble
my knees grow weak all at once
heart beats uncontrollably
as I begin to collapse
I see myself falling so fast
as I whisper my good-byes to the world
then all of a sudden I feel a warmth
a hand quickly reaches down
breaking my fall and lifts me back up
I look back into the portrait
to find your beautiful smile
you tenderly embrace me
placing your hand upon my heart
you blow your breath into my face
giving me back my strength
and reason to live again
I cry tears of joy
as I feel my once aching heart
slowly start to beat again
I feel the blood start to circulate
within my arms and legs
looking back into the portrait
I see my reflection smiling at me
the fog lifts from within my eyes
I smile back knowing deep inside
that I am going to be alright
