Music: Florence + The Machine - Breath of Life


Breath of Life

Her yell vibrates through me

I yell with her, my arms outstretched
and the world around me trembles

as I tremble from within

Freedom

- is peace from the sneaky, begging, hateful voices in my head
that tell me they are mine

- is strength to not only resist, but to never even want
the touch of a man that promises only to hurt me
and to help me loose myself

- is the gift of being able to feel fully and act upon
the love and joy I know I have
for those around me

Her yell is mine
as I shake at my rattling chains
as I struggle not to break or give in
as I do my best not to listen to the poisonous thoughts and emotions
I whisper to myself

Her yell is mine
to give me strength
to breathe again

Florence is wild.
Have you seen Ian Curtis dance?
