I close my eyes and breathe.
I try to take a book and read,
Because it distracts me from me
And I can immerse myself in fantasy
Where the sky is green and the grass is blue
With imagination I can do what I want to
I can run, I can fly: I am free
I'm not bound by physics or gravity
I'm not trapped in my corporeal body
When I close my eyes and breathe,
And wait for a more steady heartbeat
I know that I can beat my pain
I know that I can try again
I know being who I am
Is not weakness,
It's being human
