asthma

there is less air moving into my lungs than yours.

I’m not bragging.

I just can’t breathe

not all the way.

never all the way.

I forget that not everyone

breathes the same way I do.

that not everyone sees,

lives, loves the way I do.

tell me

what is it like to feel the

fullness of your lungs

expand inside yourself?

I might never know

and yet,

I keep breathing
