Allowed Me To Breath

Suzanne Mondoux · 19 November 2020

I weep where you left me What you want me to be is not ever real I live in the space you made for me You allowed me to breath for your pleasure There’s no meaning in this existence you created for you You allowed me to breath to see you in your glory You had to chance it in your long strides to your ivory tower Made of me I housed you and your family There’s no ending what you desire for you alone And there’s no pretending what will be You allowed me to breath as you gaze at your jewels There is no revenge where I come from or where I’m going The only revenge is amongst those you live The passengers of your journey rush to jump on this train The step over one another and the mighty crush the weak You allowed me to breath just long enough to raise your value You allowed me to breath again and again until there’s nothing left You allowed me to breath as a symbol of your freedom Of which you know nothing about freedom, for you have created this world Freedom is an unknown to such a world with dominion over others Unknowingly, you allowed me to breath just long enough for you to reach your end
