       life.
the feeling of being alive and not just living
   of living and not just being alive.
every word; a heartbeat in rhythm set to the cadence
of every inhale and every exhale.
   I bleed the unspoken- the unimaginable
to letters on a page that show life..
     that show emotion
revealing secrets held inside and words
not dared be spoken
   of the known and unknown,
of who we are and what we do-
  of why things are as they appear,
                                or don't.
I am the master; in charge of what leaks to letters and symbols,
  every charater and sound-
they flow through my veins and lead
  to a 4-chambered pump

        *thump, thump*
                     *thump, thump*
                                  *thump, thump*

it pulses through my entity,
  I part my lips and itallrushesout
from being trapped inside...

    I breathe in rhthym and rhyme.
                Filled with life
    -poetry-
                                               I am alive.
