I breathe in today
And exhale my past
Neither defines my existence
A ghost with flesh assumes me
Grasping perceived truth in every
Frailty of human condition
Only admission of failure is real
Sharing this emotion with another
Brings me peace
A smile between two who know
Sets me free to search my soul
For the happiness I seek
