i have.

i have heard roaring explosions.
i have seen bright flashing lights.
i have tucked in all the children.
i have laid awake at night.
i have always whispered to you.
i have wanted so hard to belong.
i have seen the most perfect views.
i have learned that it's time to move on.
i have wasted away nearly all of time.
i have frittered nearly all of the hours.
i have driven my car way too fast.
i have learned to make whiskey sours.
i have dreamed about love too many nights.
i have felt myself becoming drained of feeling.
i have dimmed the lights to an all-time low.
i have done a lot of incredible things.
i have failed to do so many more.
i have woken up on the other side of things.
i have pressed my face hard to the floor.
i have breathed with lungs deeply wheezing.
i have swam through the ocean.
i have walked through fields of corn.
i have shaken my way through stories of satan.
i have waited patiently for another me to be born.
