Freedom:A collection of poems

Water and Oxygen

I chase after the need to feel alive.

I want to feel my heart drop to my stomach. I want to do something crazy.

I want to go after my darkest desires,

I don’t want to care what people think.

Feeling my heart pounding in my chest

Imagine that excitement! Breathing fresh air from a place unknown, that I’ve searched for deep in my soul.

Go to work,save for your retirement,then they’ll put you in a home.

In the end it’s all an endless cycle,

As if we’re running an endless race with no point at all.

Fuck running, I want to feel things!

I don’t want to be told how to feel,I don’t want to be given instructions and stay inside all the lines!

All those pretty little lies we are told wrapped up in a red bow, I want to take them and tear them to pieces! My story is that of my own,not doing what I am told I need to do!

I want to take a moment to take all those lovely thoughts in a day and all the quiet of the world and breath it all in and let it all go.Like a cloud of smoke I want to watch it slowly fade away and anxiously await yet another day.

I want to be embraced by the things that matter. I want to work hard,filling my jar and let it all seep in. There is no room for being who I’m not and investing in the things that don’t bring happiness. You see the race is all slowly killing us. Some are dead walking!

I want to leave my fingerprints in this dirt when I leave it. That’s all we have not the clothes we wore,the houses we bought,the jobs we worked,looking over the dirt men and women are watching it all rot! Don’t forget to breath! Breath it all in,don’t forget anything! Don’t forget to drink! Let all the happy things seep in! Let it put a smile to your face and put you in a dreamy haze.

In this race we cannot live without water and oxygen.
