(Poem)

Oh, to be a person. 

To be counted as such

and seen as alive

and not the corpse in the

room holding space. 

I suppose to be seen

this way I need to feel

this way. 

I want to feel alive. 

I want to drink the light

and soak in the stars. 

I want to shed tears of magic

and dance with the water. 

I want to inhale wonder

and exhale inspiration. 

I want to live. 

I want to feel. 

Oh, to be the warmth in the 

room. 

Oh, to be a person. 

-d.l.
