Breathe

Breathe

No time to breathe
When you scream
I worry you will run out into the street
The anger in your eyes
The displeasure you cannot disguise.

Fear, voices, the word no
Set you off like a rocket
Ready to explode.

I stand and watch
Trying to catch my breath
You hit your peak and I go seek
An answer to your anger
Your emotions too close to danger
You are scaring me
I cannot breathe.

I am worried, where do I go
What can I do, when you are out of control?
I need to breathe and think
I want to help you
Your anger
Is scaring me.

No time to breathe.
