The life within us
Let it breathe
Don’t choke it out with the smoke
Of judgement and cruelty
Let it breathe
Before we hold in too long
And the life floats away
Before we become not of ourselves but mere products
Of society
Be yourself and love others
For not what your supposed to love them for
But for
The life within them
