Air

A Poem

By Mihaela VasilevaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Are we all here for the same reasons?

Maybe there are different meanings,

Different sounds,

Different rythyms.

Say your farewells soon.

Before the beat drowns away.

Before I fall

And there is nothing to catch but

The Air.

It'll kiss my fingers before I reach the blue.

It won't be patient,

It'll let me go.

Why should I matter?

If I'm not good enough for life,

Then so death be my fate.

For there isn't enough.

And I have not the strength to refill my lungs.

Inflate my mind,

Puncture holes in my chest.

Let me drown.

Let me rest.

Was I not kind?

Was I not fair?

If only you could give me enough

Enough

Enough

Full and pure Air.
