Would you want to breathe if you were to ask for oxygen? Would you want to drink if you were to beg for a glass of water? would you want to eat if you were to pray for a plate of food? Well, I wouldn’t.
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak No matter where we are, what air we breathe or which stars we are under. Your eyes always take me to dream land; that inner child-like peace of mind. That I crave when you’re gone and afar and I only see you when in my sleep.
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak I can truly see myself in that light, the green iris of my eye like a jungle, full of life. And when snow covers the green, and my skin looses its color I crave that wilderness in my eye.

Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak Should you find the most convenient way of breathing, it will not make you feel more alive.
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak On the verge of what is there to see, a beautiful landscape of the sea washing away what we’re made off, looking back we drown we fall.
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak Do you recognize your voice, the one that’s coming from your own mouth, when words are forming on your tongue?
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak Curled up in a ball slowly shutting down as my body is being devoured by those ugly, fearsome monsters that have lived in my guts ever since I could remember.
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak So grand yet so small, so important yet so irrelevant, so beautiful yet so shallow, must thee live in illusion or does real life leave too much of a confusion?
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak Hatred conquers the sea in which is growing thee them tiny pearls struggling a little trying to solve the final riddle.
Zuzanna SzostakZuzanna Szostak Carrying the weight of my mistakes I burst into flames that hurt my skin.
