Breathing
unaware
surviving
maybe alive
maybe not
but still breathing
Breathless
aware
In need of air
alive
maybe not
but still breathing
Air
never seen
never touched
but always been my source of life
tasteless
but tastes my lungs
runs in my veins
lets me feel life
and then they tell me
its greenery
its gold
its things that are finite
that keep me alive
its degrees
its education
its my soulmate
its things you can touch and show
its things they can see and know
its things you can frame on the wall
that keeps me alive
and I tell them
no matter where you go
no matter how much you have to frame
no matter how much you glitter and shine
all you need to do
to be alive
is keep breathing
