Let Me Breath... Poem by Ms. Anika Martinez

Let me breath
Take the mask off
I can breath on my own
Take the mask off
It no longer needed
I can breath
I no longer grasp for air
I can breath
I feel the cool winds on my skin
I feel the touch of life in me
I can breath
I no longer stumble at every step I take
I feel everything
I can breath
I see clearly
I no longer need the crouch
I am so familiar with
I can breath
I throw away all my garbage I found
I know it is more around here
I will find it in time
I can breath
I have started cleaning out my house
I can see
I can feel
All my thoughts
All my desires
All my pain
I can breath
