The aggressive wind from my fan

blazing through the width of these walls

breathing, feeling, and inhaling once again

oxygen filling up my lungs

as this paper is being touched by my pen

I’ve lusted, I’ve loved, I’ve hated, and I’ve sinned

Tomorrow is never promised, but tonight I can forgive

Selfish and Selfless

How can I acquit

the emotion bestowed upon my eyelid

Cold sweats, warm face, runny nose, and a numb fingertip

Liquified hope expelling from my lip

the bittersweet taste of being human

as restless as the might from within

crucifying the urgency to scream

drowning in a bed full of wishful things

as odd as it may seems

my soul feel

every beat my heart may weep

every secret I may keep

even the ones I keep from me

yes, when I say my soul feel

it feels

the strong will of

the severity of defeat

allowing myself to sink

in the lack of sanity

inspirational
