The air is heavy today
No, not heavy
Charged with emotion
Are they mine?
Partly, maybe
The tears in my throat can’t tell
I rose this way
Sadness?
Partly, but it’s more
Empathy?
Yes, also that
Frustration?
Yep, always
Desire?
Not the sexual kind, but also yes
Love?
Yes, yes, that’s it
The world needs it
The world rejects it
If only it were simple
Wake up and heal the world
Wouldn’t that be grand?
