are you ready to breathe
for the first time?
are you ready to fall
in love and reach
the stars and
give it all up (after)?
/
do you want to feel
the wind against
your black and white body
feel lips against your skin
hear [pain/pleasure] in your mind
saying "this is not okay."
saying "I will die for this."
/
are you ready enough for freedom
do you want to know blood
(that's red like the beginning setting sun)
rushing to your mind,
do you want to know what
it is, what they felt, what
humanity once whispered at night
among bedsheets
/
once upon a time
when emotions were how you lived
and you chose everything, you were
everything, you would die for everything
(and now you have lost everything)
/
your mind has
battlefields and slavery and executions
but also holidays and music and family
and it is time for you to choose
if this is worth living for
if this is worth dying for
/
