Whatever I Breathes Isn'T Oxygen

I can't 

wait to hear
 
whispering wind
 
screaming out under
                       My  
                      feet-
                       I'll
                     away.
                   
                            I need an 
estimate
                                  
                                 of ten 
suns and
                              
                                           
five new
                                                 
                                              
moons

to
 
brighten 

My thought-

to bright the residue
 
darkness that's in my heart.  
                              whatever
                                    I
                             breathes
                              isn't
                           oxygen-
                          
                         I can feel the 
pain 
                                   
                             my nostrils 
keep
                                       
                                         
from my     
                                                  
                                              
lungs.
 
       I need to bleed more-
                There's 
         angry in my blood.
                Excess           
      tears can't extinguish
                   my      
          burning desire to 
                  live  
        In happiness and love.

    
 My light _________isn't balance   
     with my    darkness because      
                  I                             
                 am   
              human-
        I was born in sin.
