Breathe

Capture my breath of purpose
Inhale dreams of determned
Lilac.

Don’t poision my Black
Pride.
Don’t hide my struggle,
My power to love.

Behold my heart.
It beats, I’m 
Alive.

My vision clears my 
Soul of darkness. 
My life exhales
Cool Light.

Trust the fool
And die.
Follow “I AM.”
And live.

Capture my breath of purpose
Breathe a dream
Worth living.

Breathe.
