Breathe life into me

January 31, 2018

Read me aloud

Feel the familiar sensation of words often said

And bring me to life

We living things

Like to scream into a void

Cold and careless to our concerns

We yell not to be heard

But for the joy that the act of creation brings

Say me

And change me

And make me live

And in return

I'll give you the joy of breathing life

Into something once extinct

So scream me if you wish

If you want to be heard

Or whisper me to no one

I'm here just the same

Even if it's only for a second

My lifetime is long to me

I'm just a silly little poem

Not meant to be heard

But yearning to be said

Something wrong with this poem?
