On Remembering to Breathe
What of the moments we dare to forget?
Are these not the wars worth fighting?
Sometimes my mind leaves behind those Trojan horses
Sometimes I call amnesia home because it feels safer there
Sometimes I wonder whether white flags
are too shy to accept the victory they deserve
And sometimes
my armor falls off
and I feel human on purpose again
