wishful thinking

maybe if i could breathe

maybe if i could stop in silence

maybe if time was of no consideration

then i would see

i would know 

and would hear all the answers

that i listen so closely for

but never receive

maybe if i was nothing

maybe if i saw others as everything

maybe if you were everything

then i could taste

a life more full

and could live a life

where i can just be

knowing that you are

maybe if i was strong

maybe if i had the courage i need

maybe if i was fully myself

then i could step

out of this tread

and onto a fresh path

walking as i desire

and not as i am
