Lyrical Battle

It is 12:52am and I am sitting on the bottom of my stairwell thinking about life. I have been sitting here for almost an hour. Thinking about all the things I need to do- about all the things I need to do that I don't want to do, and about all the things that I have no power over yet have to find some way to make peace with them.


Do you have chores you hate? I hate putting up laundry. Really. Sometimes I just leave it in the baskets for days at a time because I am too lazy to fold it and put it up. Right now it is 1.5 baskets at the moment. Another chore I hate is taking the recyclables off to be recycled. I'm all about the planet and I'm so Miss Eco, but my gosh why does it have to be so hard to recycle?! I have 4 piles that I have to take off tomorrow. And that has been sitting in my pantry for a very long time. 


Moving on. Sometimes my mind gets very audible. A lot of times I find myself mixing different songs together to tell a story. So, I am going to share this battle going on in my head. 


(Jordin Sparks- No Air) But somehow I'm still alive inside. You took my breath but I survived. I don't know how but I don't even care (Lifehouse-Breathing) I'm finding my way back to sanity again though I really don't know what I'm going to do when I get there. Take a breath and hold on tight, spin around one more time and gracefully fall back into the arms of Grace  (Anna Nakick-Breathe) "Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands and breathe..just breathe. Oh breathe..just breathe"- (Michelle Branch- Breathe) If I just breathe let it fill the space between I'll know everything is alright Breathe Every little piece of me You'll see everything is alright if I just breathe" (Matt Maher- Alive)- "Now I'm breathing in and breathing out, I'm alive again" 


So, now that it is 1:28 and I have penned typed this. I guess I will just take these lyrics to heart and really start breathing. Find cleansing in the breaths you breathe. and "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord". If you are still breathing- you still have purpose.
