Fetching Life

I lie in my back, mouth open wide,
 hoping to breathe out my feelings
I seem to be taking more in, hence no change occurs.
All my days I wake hoping to have different feelings,
But this heart is always heavy, it’s under Thor’s hammer
I can’t free myself from the burns inside, the negativity 
Roots are too thick, can’t plunge them out.
No matter how long I breathe there’s no reaction,
Except looking like a fool.
My only wish is to take it out , destroy it ,then create a clean one
A heart that has never beared pain, that knows no sorrow.
Fools hope I know, because as long as I live I will have to experience
the brutality of life. What then? I can’t stop being human, can I ?
The tragedies are what maketh the man.
But I won’t stop lying in my back and breathing it out,
Because what’s a human without hope?
