Alive

This morning I woke up to live

got out of bed

breathed

felt

smiled

 

I felt the satisfaction of productivity

warm sun on my back during a

half smoked cigarette

the frustration of a roommate

the bitterness of a carbonated beverage

strength in my body

felt

 

today I live the first day of my life

live

life

and it feels good

I encounter

respond

let emotion be evoked

evoke.

 

today I let the world embrace me

today I am born
