A BREATH OF LIFE By Jasen Sousa
A BREATH OF LIFE
Death howls through night.
When you think your time might be near,
inhale a breath of my life.
Life circulates through my lungs,
immortality flows and rejuvenates all
it is blown upon. No one quite knows
where a person goes once they are dead and gone.
The air I breathe, the blood I bleed.
The selfishness of my soul, the greatness of my greed,
to breathe life into all that decays before I pass.
Place your lips on mine and inhale, feel life.
Don’t cry if you wish to die, it doesn’t have to be like this.
There is a place for you in this world, finding it takes time.
Imagine, waking up every morning and knowing why you exist,
peace in your mind.
I will not allow myself to die and have that be the end.
For my entire life I have persistently and passionately pled,
prolonging existence with my pen.
Words that will never be said,
Jasen Sousa is dead.
