Oxygen

Breathe in, breathe out
One, two, three—
It’s a necessity.
But I beg to disagree—
It’s a luxury.

I Am

I am different.
You are different.
They are different.
Why would I get afraid?
Why would you get afraid?
Why would they get afraid?

Quiet

Everyone hears you.
Not everyone listens to you.

Gladiator

I fought.
In the battle ground.
I surrendered.
In my own game.
I lost.
In the arena of life.

Broken glass.
Shattered dreams.
Defeated game.
Crumbling inside.
Yet you smile—
And say “I’m okay.”
Pretense.

We only see what we want to see.
We only hear what we want to hear.
We only do what we want to do.
Why?

One Step

I’m stuck
At a time I shouldn’t stop.
I’m lost
At a place I shouldn’t cross.
