this breath

the only thing that matters to the air in your lungs is that you are still here

the breath in your lungs right now

doesn't know your name
  or how much money you make
or what religion you belong to

this breath in your lungs

doesn't know any of the mistakes you have made
  or any of the gossip about you
or anything about your medical records

this breath moving in your lungs

doesn't know what scares you about the future
   or the despair you carry in your heart 
or how you can't forgive yourself

to be honest, 
your breath doesn't 
know much about you
   
it forgot to read your file before
entangling itself in the miracle 
of your existence
