Sit, Breathe, Repeat

By Jeremy Kendrick

Sometimes life smacks you right in the face
All while trying to remember that I still have my place

Not everything can be simple and perfect
Trust me, I’ve checked

I know I shouldn’t stop, I gotta keep trying
Even though right now I don’t feel myself flying

Sometimes I wonder how to even fix all of this
It all feels like I’m trapped in this hell of an abyss

You can do everything you can, give it your all
And yet …still somehow fall

Everyday I try so hard
Just to be stabbed in the heart with a shard

I can’t be happy all of the time
Because sometimes life can turn on a dime

I guess I can’t sit and sulk in my sorrows
But sometimes it’s hard to picture better tomorrows

I think to myself, maybe …maybe just maybe
Cheer up baby

Don’t stop now
Things will get better, even though sometimes I’m not sure how

Sit, breathe, repeat
Your heart still pumps with every beat
So feel that blood flow from your head down to your feet
…There’s so much greatness you have even yet to meet
