As rage fills my lungs
I feel your words enter my heart
I begin to sweat and feel my pulse arise
With my throat closing and the air slipping
I can’t breathe

I feel my wings break through the skin
Taking off like a bird
I soar to my father
With wings of fait I clash through clouds
Ripping through the silver lining and beyond
Clutching on to my last breath
I can’t breathe

At the gates I catch my breath
I see his hands cuff
With a welcoming grin
He lets me in
To take my place beside him
And now I can breathe
