Just Breathe

I sit here all day

I don't do a thing just breathe

The discontentment I feel

Is the hardest work in the world

The river won't wash away

The hunger and thirst just free

This constant craving destroys

Any joy and peace that I feel

I've studied every secret word

There's so much love and yet my sorrow will not leave

I must surrender every thought

I must deny myself

To find what lies beneath

What if I live this life I know

And join these trees among us

To have nothing as whole

To merely exist

And just weep

To quench and sensual thirst

I am the seeker I must be free

I will go into the forest

I'll go deep inside

Light or dark I'll overcome
