Paradox
February 3, 2016
Wake up, don't open your eyes;
Reality isn't any better.
Each day, fight for a breath of life,
pray to remain recovered.
Do not tread the known path of flames.
Long road here.
Still unkown, the touch of a smile.
A breath recovered,
a fight to remain.
Each breath is not a fight for the poeple who spit, "Grow up."
A battle they do not know, demolished like larvae.
Recovering.
Do not open your eyes,
reality isn't any better.
Take a breath.
Choose.
