Longing

thinkerbell

I long to live,

Yet I can barely breathe

In the stifling silence

 

I long to forgive , 

Yet I can barely feel

In the pathos of hatred

 

I long to give ,

Yet I can barely see

In the smoke of greed

 

I long to thrive ,

Yet I can barely stand

In the arena of violence 

 

Yet life longs to live again
