Sestina #1


How can I? Stop my mind Make it end, suddenly Cease my breathing Get me out of the world I am in Make it stop Will it ever stop? How can I Exist in the state I am in In my colorful mind What a blessing it is be be breath And to smile, suddenly He moves so suddenly I need him to stop I can feel his breathing Where am I? His voice echoes in my mind How did he get in? She let me in This all came so suddenly She never leaves my mind Who am I Without her breathing? I need them to stop breathing Insanity is setting in "How am I?" Why do you care, suddenly? I want you to stop Get these thoughts out of my mind Never let this feeling stop I feel so peaceful, only breathing There is nothing on my mind I escaped the box I was in Everything I fears is gone, suddenly Where was I? My mind is in chaos I am breathing again suddenly And if I don't stop, I may cease to exist
