Can you feel it?
Tightening in your chest
Can you hear it?
Quietly becoming stronger
Can you understand it?
Because I, for sure, did not
Until it was too late
For now I am older
Dying
But not in the way I used to
Throughout my whole life I was dying
Dying to finish school
Dying to move out
Dying to find love
Dying to grow up
Now that I've grown up
I am dying
My heart beat slowing
Wishing I had lived
When I had the chance
