BREATH OF LIFE To spend my whole damn life in one place Would kill me…slowly. Year after year, I trace out my journey to FREEDOM. No limits-just me. I wanna JUMP out of the crowd…be EIGHT FEET TALL! Giant, like the TITANS. I wanna thread my hair with SUNSHINE. I wanna dream BIG like Dr. King. Who doesn’t desire POWER? ‘Round here they got nothin’. They got everything for someone unlike little me. They never sense a better view. I hear the green on the other side callin’ my name. I’m CAGED-Surrounded by thick glass walls. Let me out of this JUNGLE with no trees. Even after the smoke clears, it ain’t too late to take off the mask. I wanna FLY through the ocean. I wanna face the storm and travel through a twister. I wanna dodge the DANGER of myself. When’s it gonna be my time to take my First BREATH OF LIFE?
