Aren't I

I am breathing

Maybe I choke a little

But I'm breathing

Aren't I?

My favourite colour hides behind a dingy yellow cloak

I no longer see the fluffy clouds

Nonetheless

But I'm  looking for the missing ball of warmth

Aren't I?

The darkness surrounds me

I shut my eyes tight

Panicked

I remember the last punishment

Squeezing tighter

But I am watching

Aren't I?

The banging door

A weakened soul

And weak knees too

Not from age but experience great

Of what's coming soon

I imagine myself at Mad Hatter's tea

Or flying with Pan over the endless sea

I know the sound of this endless sweep

But I'm holding on to hope

Aren't I ?
