A Pill of A Planet

"Don't sigh like that daddy."
Why do you sigh like you are swallowing the center of a hurricane?
Like there's a tempest consuming the horizons?
Or like the Earth won't wait one more minute for you?
As if this planet is a pill that can be swallowed all in one breath...
its not.
So don't sigh like that, please.
It reminds me you aren't so indestructible.
And if you aren't,
what hope is there for myself?
