Before I die

Before I die, I want to live.

Really live.

I desire a self-love so deep that I am truly proud to be who I am with no apologies.

I yearn for a strong love with a man

(or a woman, who knows the future me?)

I want to appreciate my existence

before I'm without it.

I want to breathe in the world and feel free.

Really free.

Not anxious of this situation or that event.

I crave that one moment, even just a single second,

of pure ecstasy.

Maybe one day.
