It was exhausting to constantly apologize for taking up space There's so many people on this big 'ol rock that I wondered how we don't run out of oxygen Sometimes I held my breath, just in case Then I got caught in thunderstorms Stole air from the water through osmosis The sidewalks cleared and I could expand I think they were drowning, even before the rain came When the lightening appeared, I imagined the selfish caught on fire Oxygen is fuel and I think that's why everyone else is shutting down Our blood was blue and maybe that's why we could swim through concrete
Please don't be worried when I vaporize I'll be swimming in thunderstorms Too tired to say, "I'm sorry," Learning to make room for myself Maybe parts of me will escape this big 'ol space rock Maybe we'll reach starts and breakdown into helium, and Breathe.
Please comment :) Written about my experience being overwhelmed in a big city.
