I breathe
"I breathe"
I crave my thoughts
I long to roam
I mourn the body
I've called home
I miss my smile
I miss my friends
I miss attending
Fun events
I long to write
I ache to read
I mourn my mind’s
Lost complexity
I long to swim
They miss the key
I mourn the mum
I wished to be
I miss the cows
I miss the boots
I miss the meadows
And my roots
And I breathe...
I miss my family
And humanity
And the fantasy
Of financially
Independently wishing sanity
And a gravity
That isn’t captivity
Not an analogy
But brutality
Rising agony
Because the hospitality
Of the mentality
That brings casualty
And normality
To this brutality
Of depravity,
Loss of capacity,
Is in reality
A communal mortality.
And I breathe...
I long to run
I ache to think
I mourn being
A missing link
I want to help
I want to give
I mourn knowing
How to fully live
I miss the world
I long to see
My own reflection
I mourn me
...And. I. breathe.
