Holdin' my breath

for a breath, I am a girl
in the next, I am a woman
for a breath, I am a smile
in the next, so far from heaven
for a breath, I am a vixen
in the next, memory's thread
for a breath, I am a dancer
in the next, stumbled tread
for a breath, I am beautiful
in the next, desire's goal
for a breath, I am grounded
in the next, tendered soul
for a breath, shackled fears
in the next, dreams set free
for a breath, I am many
in the next, only me
for a breath, solely granted
in the next, gifts I sing
for a breath, and for ever
You are everything
