‘Natus,

I Can’t breathe… As I grasp for more

I surrender my heart to the one with hope.

“One last breath left,

one last chance to seek for my inner-pope.”

As I stand alone in a world filled with passion

I ask myself; “What if….?”

I look down…. And I see this rope.

“Do I dare?” I ask myself.

.

.

.

As I am not ready to fall

I seek for a reason to fly.

I scream; “YOU SHALL NOT TAKE MY PART”

With the sound of music

I hear my mother’s Lullaby.

I Follow the voice that guides me through

this beauty that has been shown with mother’s-eye.

Stamp of approval
