Someday, I want to do more than just exist.
I want to live

without begging for permission.
Perhaps some freedom from my own thoughts
and that constant mental battle of attrition. 
However, for now

When life's parade passes you by

Do you bother to wave?

Can you keep asking the questions

With answers too hard to face?

Each time before when I had fallen, landing in the pit below,

I found upon the ground were words that I could gather up to build

a latticework of scaffolding to climb upon so I could go

back to the surface with the crowd, but every time I found that still
