- Relief -



I’ll live to give, receive, and breathe relief
Sometimes I’ll give up
And sometimes I’ll see crimes
Failing will interfere
And relief will be the last leaf that a tree won't drop
I will entertain you PROPerly
And tell you a story about a vein
That is handcuffed with a chain in a devastated room
Hearing the rain and
Improperly giving back blood to the brain
That tries to create a campaign after a campaign
While others are discriminating and circulating.
I’ll live to give, receive, and breathe relief
And relief will be the last leaf
That a tree will sustain with less grief.
