Collarbone makes a collar,

that ties itself around my neck

And I faint, everything I had to say

collapses in blood rushing through my veins

in flames of anxiety

Removing yourself from society,

asking why can't I say

'I wish I were closer to you so I could hear your heartbeat

reminding that we're not robots

'cause I can't feel mine

and I'm starting

to stop feeling my bones when I fall'

I want to say it all

just like I think about it

Either of neither of my working lungs

has something to say,

anything to breathe out

The words

like birds in the cage

I keep 'em all inside

I lose 'em from my sight

just when I might

need to say them

Beneath the ground

my eyes are grounded

as if they were plants

And every time they're haunted

by others judging sight

the roots bury themselves deeper and deeper inside

of the Earth

I sigh

I take my turn

to live before I die

Well, its easier said than done

As simply as that

I become a plant

I can't move anymore

I'm waiting for God

Or you

Or anyone

to water me with hope

Moją inspiracją do napisania kawałka slam poetry jest cudowna poezja Shane'a Koyczana. Serdecznie polecam wejść sobie na yt i posłuchać jego niesamowitej twórczości, która mi osobiście pomogła w najtrudniejszych chwilach.
