Let Me Be Alive Again

I want to smell a petunia flower for the first time

and feel the snow against my exposed feet

I want to see colors for the first time

and feel the wonderment of seeing

something different, a fresh memory,

I want to experience everything again.

Love, hatred, passion, and sadness 

To meet the same people but with 

better outcomes and exchanges 

I want to hear the leaves sway across 

the sunset valley as I breathe

But this time, I want to experience it

not just look at it to avoid my problems.

I yearn for the old and the different.

I want to eat an apple without knowing

How it will taste or feel

So let me be alive; I will live a better life.

This time.
