Breathe - September Stories

And what would say

if I told you those words that you reiterate

could hold the meaning they retained yesterday

To acknowledge the thought of a miracle

To embrace the idea of a second chance

I’d give the possibility of one hundred days gone for one spent here

To feel that word pressed against my mind uttering some sort of grieving release

Speaking that string of hollow words

holding no sensical meaning but what you take

And it kills me to think of what exists

If my prayers transcend the ceiling or are lost within its depth

If what I’ve spent my last ten years believe was put to misuse

And that my faith was misconstrued

That my faith was just my words reverberating back to me

That my faith was just all I needed it to be

To give me hope that things can change

And that this place that I found myself in…

Won’t be the walls that surround me forever.

But I’m realizing that I don’t know the people around me

I can’t recognize a face that I’ve seen for the past ten years

But looking at the ingenuity of its design is all I need to hold my sanity

Beauty lost beneath the borders of hatred

Perfect people in a flawless society made tarnished by the inability to breath

civillity

The significance of our morals drowned out by our overbearing individuality

And undermined talent lost when our minds shift from others to our own selfish

conclusions

And you know that I’ve never had a way with words or even knew which ones you

wanted to hear

I’ve let my faulty define me

I let them control who I wanted to be

But things have grown different here

You’re not the same person that I have once trusted

You’re not the same person that you used to be

I can’t feel your heart beating

And was it what you wanted

I thought that it would be

How was life living without me?

Lungs break and hearts constrict the artificial joy that flows freely to your

head

Containing the life that’s fleed unconscious minds and escaped the depths of

its sanctity

All holy and not to be judged based upon a life lived and not upon how they

were born

To be judged based upon a life lived and not upon a situational analysis of

morality

I don’t know what’s in store for tomorrow

Or if that day will even come

But I know that I’ve got today

And I know that I’ve got this life

I can’t feel your heart beating

And was it what you wanted

I thought that it would be

How was life living without me?
