Midnight Monologue

"i will live" even if it's for a jiffy at this moment, let my breath be the testimony of what i feel & the sound of the drum my heart holds will keep its rhythm below the canopy of the forest let the hunter aim no perfect shot at the eagle that soars i will live, to harvest the trees i have planted with blue & black in the white field to seduce the pain that awaits me in bed i can't tell how many times my peace of mind has been accompanied by sorrow but at this stage, i will live because if the tea on the dinning table gets cold my brother won't be able to tell the taste of the sugar in it i will live, if it's in pain, someday happiness will creep if it's in mental illnesses, one day a therapist will creep if it's in my mind, one day i will write the story if it's in the outfits, one day God will redress me but for now, i will live
