cooler air/cleaner water

December 19, 2018
By Anonymous

I now breathe new, cooler, crisper, air

I drink the clear and cold water 

but sometimes the dirt filled air 

catches in my lungs

it doesn’t leave as easily as it came 

the boiling water still sometimes slides down my 

throat 

leaving a bad ache afterwards

but it happens less and less now

the new air and clean water always comes back

eventually

This is just a poem about being almost healed from the past. Although, the past can still haunt you every now and then.
