It doesn’t even know it’s happening to it

Just being born in the world

A flash of light

And you start screaming

You pulled me out of what was warm and safe

And now out into this bright and loud unknown

I only want the safety and protection of my WarmPlace

I scriggle my arms and yell to put me back in my WarmPlace

I am placed in the mountains that hold me

Soft and gently

I was still crying but slowly calm down

I’m warm again

It’s hitting you everyday like a football play

I could breathe in and out

And it changes in a split second,

You just gotta roll with it and decide what to do next

I’m tired scared and hungry

And rent is almost $1000 for a nasty apartment

I didn’t ask for this

I didn’t strive for this

I will survive this

I will thrive in it

It’s always talked about

How your last moments look

What your eyes hear

And ears touch

It’s all over now

Let’s lay you to dust

Like living soil

May you fertilize our crust
