Heini Talip Poet Free verse

If Only

If only

I could color the darkness

nod and smile, understand it.

If only

I could squint and see my path

not beg

every breath to be my humane euthanasia.

If only

I could be less afraid

made of grander things

than the pebble that is my soul.

If only 

I could burst the bubble I occupy,

instead of being

I could not be.

Is that an option I can have?
