Take A Minute

Signal on

Coast clear

I start to turn

Yelling, screaming for me to stop

But only one voice is heard

I stop mid turn exit and stand

I don't even know where I am

But still one voice

Head back to where I was in pieces or continue on toward home?

Leave things unfinished or keep on

Throw in the towel or just take a minute 

I'll take a minute, a breath

Let the cold night air settle in my chest

Realize that I still can

I realize I will

I will rise

I just needed a minute to catch up with myself
