No time to breathe
Breathe
By Michelle Berardo Klear
No time to breathe
When you scream
I worry you will run out into the street
The anger in your eyes
The displeasure you cannot disguise.
Fear, voices, the word no
Set you off like a rocket
Ready to explode.
I stand and watch
Trying to catch my breath
You hit your peak and I go seek
An answer to your anger
Your emotions too close to danger
You are scaring me
I cannot breathe.
I am worried, where do I go?
What can I do? When you are out of control?
I need to breathe and think
I want to help you
Your anger
Is scaring me.
No time to breathe.
