Waiting To Breathe

Stifling emotions in accordance to the field of medicine
waiting for results that can lead to a domino type of effect
I pray things will move according to my goal in denizen
and that I'm well and feeling chipper when the tester is checked
deep inside I feel fine and realize things should run correctly
but there's the beast of mind play in this picture of wholeness
I care most than one would assume of the status of this indirectly
and also directly trust that word of hearts command and boldness
am I the only one writing today and will people lose interest
this is of my idea on this particular day in captivity
for I seek shelter within this wing I humbly crutch is dearest
and hope for longevity with the unity of others though non passivity
blood not thicker is how I mop up this spill of it when it is presented
but others seek to put them first when conditional love is plaguing
and those of us accepting them as who they are being resented
skipping subjects often is what I'm doing for sanctity is aiding
no right nor wrong is what I'm hoping is the solution to this
an eternal shift in consciousness for to claim immunity
plus a lasting breath of never ending life bestowed on ones abyss
feeling again those beliefs will not be shared with the community

Time, patience and self belief can be answers to some of the points you raise in your poem, Angela. Lack of breath (achievement) mostly depends on our ability to cope and flourish. I am sure there is much more to this poem than what I have mentioned so far! ~ Regards // paul

A deep and complex poem. I still have to read it again. Seems that illness has rendered you abandoned. Maybe I'm wrong. So I stand to be corrected. ~~
