Time is a strange concept;<\/p>\n
we breathe in and out, then three seconds have already passed.<\/p>\n
Then we do it again,<\/p>\n
then again.<\/p>\n
Until we have been breathing for ninety years,<\/p>\n
and we are dead in a bed we have been in for three days.<\/p>\n
No one has found us;<\/p>\n
we are rotting next to piles of medication we take for all of our weaknesses.<\/p>\n
Our time is up, and what have we done with it?<\/p>\n
For many, the answer is nothing;<\/p>\n
nothing but lie and cheat and steal and harass the people we claim to love.<\/p>\n
I want to do something with my breath;<\/p>\n
to breathe life into the mouths of those who are suffocating,<\/p>\n
those who crave something more than the normal air.<\/p>\n
I am so tired of this oxygen, it is suffocating me.<\/p>\n
Someone please show how to live my time differently,<\/p>\n
teach me how to show all my love, feel my hurt, hear my own voice.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to rot in a lonely bed like the others often do.<\/p>\n
I need my minutes to count,<\/p>\n
to mean something.<\/em><\/p>\n I want to live like I am dying.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Time is a strange concept; we breathe in and out, then three seconds have already passed.
