Live
live
not to exist in this life
never to feel
clenching your teeth
squeezing your eyes closed
holding your breath
throwing this gift away to rot
breathe deeply
take life in like cold sharp air
shocking your lungs
spraying vivid colors all over
screaming out
laughing awkwardly
let life loose
like sand to run through your fingers
swim in it
immerse yourself
live
