A chance to breathe
Isn't always guaranteed
Sometimes underneath
A seemingly compatible body
Is the inability to take this earthly version of Lethe
The numbers and stats are getting higher
For the things that help fulfill this instinctive need
But nothing can be done for the silent crier
Coming to this world, forever asleep
To never feel the warmth of a fire
Or the love of a family
Even the beauties that form naturally
Will be closed doors to their eyes
The result of life dice rolling so randomly
As a being who almost had that fate
One that would've stopped me from writing these words
I am forever reminded on my birth date
Have gratitude for this chance to breathe
And take this life to the adventures that await
