Inhale.

by Valerie   Jan 12, 2008


Sitting here; Inhaling.
Looking around; Exhaling.
Thinking too much; Sitting.
Seeing too much; Standing.
Walk away; Inhale.

Smell that crisp, fresh air?
I don't.
See that beautiful, glistening snow?
I don't.
Look at that sun on the horizon.
Throwing all beautiful colors into the sky.
Get hypnotized.
See it?
I don't.

I'm sitting here; Inhale once.
I look around; Exhale twice.
I think too much; Just sitting still.
I see everything; Now standing.
I walk away; Give in agian.
Inhale once.

Smelling death and depression in the air.
You call me morbid.
Seeing darkness and cruelty in the snow.
You call me crazy.
Looking at the horizon.
Seing color soaked sky.
See that blood red?
I do.
