[INTRO] (Silence.) (One shaky inhale.) … (A slow exhale.) … (Another breath.) … (Heartbeat.) … (No music.) ⸻ [INNER MONOLOGUE I] Easy… … Don’t fight the moment. … Just… Breathe. … You’re still here. … That’s enough… For right now. (A soft piano enters.) ⸻ [VERSE I] The room feels small. The walls close in. A thousand thoughts Beneath my skin. The weight I carry Feels too much. Like every hope Has lost its touch. My hands shake. My heartbeat climbs. I’m trying… Just to slow my mind. The storm is loud. The sky is gray. I don’t know How to find my way. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] Don’t solve tomorrow. Don’t carry forever. Just… This… Moment. ⸻ [CHORUS] Breathe… You’re still here. Breathe… The sky will clear. One more breath. One more dawn. Hold on… Just hold on. Breathe… Don’t run away. You don’t have To win today. Just stay. Just stay. Just… Breathe. ⸻ (Music pulls back.) ⸻ [INNER MONOLOGUE II] The strongest thing… You can do… Isn’t always… To fight. Sometimes… It’s refusing… To disappear. One breath… At a time. ⸻ [VERSE II] I’ve carried burdens No one saw. I’ve smiled While my spirit fought. I’ve stood When my knees gave way. I’ve survived Another day. Maybe today I won’t feel strong. Maybe today Just lasts too long. That’s alright. I’ll keep this vow. I don’t need forever. I just need now. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS II] The mountain… Can wait. Take… One… Breath. ⸻ [CHORUS] Breathe… You’re not alone. Breathe… This pain won’t own. One more step. One more mile. Stay with me… A little while. Breathe… The night will end. Morning… Comes again. Just stay. Just stay. Just… Breathe. ⸻ (Music fades to heartbeat and piano.) ⸻ [INNER MONOLOGUE III] If all you can carry today… Is your next breath… Carry that. If all you can do… Is stand… Stand. If all you can do… Is survive… Then survive. There is… No shame… In making it through today. ⸻ (Beat slowly returns, warmer now.) ⸻ [VERSE III] The storm still whispers. Nothing changed. But somehow… I did. Not because The fear disappeared. Because… I stayed. One breath became two. Two became ten. Ten became… Morning. ⸻ [BUILD] Easy… Easy… You’re making it. Don’t rush. Just breathe. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] Breathe… The sun will rise. Breathe… Open your eyes. Every breath… Is one more chance. One more sunrise. One more dance. Breathe… You’re stronger Than you know. Not because You never fell… Because… You stayed. You stayed. You stayed. ⸻ (Music disappears.) ⸻ [OUTRO] (Only breathing.) (Heartbeat slows.) (Birds begin to sing faintly outside.) ⸻ [FINAL MONOLOGUE] Sometimes… Surviving… Is enough. … You don’t have To conquer today. … Just don’t… Leave it. … Tomorrow… Needs you. (Long pause.) … Breathe. (Silence.)
