Breathless

The words of our fathers are tormenting our hearts
Tormenting our minds
We’re drowning in fear
Gasping for breath
Reaching for hope as the light quickly fades
When will the struggle end?
When will we learn to breathe?
We’re drowning in fear
Tormenting our hearts
Tormenting our minds
We’re drowning in fear
If this is “living” then count me out
