Collective Breathing (Poem)

Forget about the fact that I am standing,
Forget about the fact that I am breathing,
Forget about the fact that I am alive,

I am standing in this ground that shakes of people.
I am breathing but only holding into it because
there's always someone out there to steal it.
I am alive but only in dreams there's no realization of where I am going
but I will be there.
I am alive because I cannot provide the reason for my existence.
I can provide an excuse but even then I am criticized-not bad.
I am standing in the ground to find there is a piece of hope fallen.
It is lost but there're drops everywhere, I wonder who dropped it,
I didn't lose mine but I'm sure to share it to the one who loses it.
There's no fault from hiding it.
Just look for the person that comes with a help on their face.

Don't forget I am only breathing to coexist.
Don't forget I am only alive to find the reason.
Don't forget I am breathing but can you hear it?

choke
suffocate
asphyxiate
and don't forget
Kiss-irresistible but the feelings pity yourself.

I am breathing collectively to realize that I am alive.
I am breathing collectively to calm that is turbulent.
I am breathing collectively to say I am alive.
