My eyes are lifeless and swollen My cheeks are speckled with the dried tears of yesterday's sadness My hands are weak My whole body is weak I am not able to hold myself up anymore The empty cage of my body crumbles to the ground and becomes dust The wind, crisp and lively, sweeps me away and I am one with the small particles of the earth I am one with the known but not ever seen As I flow carelessly there is peace Peace of mind that I will no longer have to hold myself up I will no longer have to bear the weight of all that life seems to anchor down onto my shoulders. I am dust I am free

Dust
My eyes are lifeless and swollen My cheeks are speckled with the dried tears of yesterday's sadness My hands are weak My whole body is weak I am not able to hold myself up anymore The empty cage of my body crumbles to the ground and becomes dust The wind, crisp and lively, sweeps me away and I am one with the small particles of the earth I am one with the known but not ever seen As I flow carelessly there is peace Peace of mind that I will no longer have to hold myself up I will no longer have to bear the weight of all that life seems to anchor down onto my shoulders. I am dust I am free
