If Only I Knew How to Breathe

If only I knew
How to truly draw breath
To drink in the world
Unbound, by the curse of fear

While passersby
Glide on, masterfully
I simmer through the nights
Growing, full with despair

Some gorge passionately
On the fibers of living
While the full, totter miserably
Looping, forever more

If only I knew
The true agony of hunger
I’d savor the world 
And it’s every 
Precious morsel
