I Can Not Fight The Urge To Breath

I can not live

I can not die

It's not me

But is it I?

 

I can not fight

The urge to breath

And let you take

My life away

 

I can not fight the urge to dance

When music holds the air

I can not let you pin me down

And keep me from movement's care

 

I can not fight the urge to fight

When knife is at my throat

I can not let you draw my blood

When I am weak already

 

I can not fight the urge to sleep

When sickness holds me strong

I can not let you tear me up

When life is small in bound

 

I can not fight the urge to write

When ideas burst inside

I can not let you muffle my voice

And hold me back in time

 

I can not fight the urge to sing

When wind is right in tune

I can not let you strike me dumb

And leave me to drink from the empty spoon

 

I can not fight the urge to kiss

When hearts are intertwined

I can not let you leave me chapped

When all I need is love

 

I can not fight the urge to swim

When water is up so high

I can not let you hold me down

And drown me without crime

 

I can not fight the urge to run

When lions on my tail

I can not let you push me down

And leave me as time's meal

 

I can not fight the urge to wake

When sun is at it's fullest

I can not let you send me back

And break the light from life

 

I can not fight the urge to climb

When trees surround my being

I can't let you make me hold my ground

When truth is at the top

 

I can not fight the urge to speak

When friends are all around me

I can not let you hold my lips

And leave me there speechless

 

I can not fight the urge to watch

When fire rules the earth

I can not let you cover me

With you dark, encasing cloak

 

I can not fight the urge to chew

When food is gived to nourishe

I can not let you force me starve

And leave me to be broken

 

I can not fight the urge to fly

When birds are calling higher

I can not let you clip my wings

And hold me as your captive

 

I can not fight the urge to tell

The secrets you are hiding

I will not let you live on like this

The black stallion you are riding

 

I will not let you hold me back

I will not let you strike me dumb

I will live my live as I do please

And break this spell of wrong

 

 

 

Author's Note

Just kind of wrote it. Some of the lines not perfect. Not sure if there is any one interpretation but I guess you can decide for yourself. Remember I love comments and contsructive critism.
And this time I was trying to lean off of rhyming because I rhyme on all my poems...sooo hope you enjoy my try at that :)

I liked this one!! and good on you for going for something different!! we all should - and it paid off here in my opinion! nice poem, nice structure and good content as well!! very nice!

I really like the content of this poem, and the message. The way it is structured, though, makes the lack of rhyming a little awkward.
To me, this poem reminds of giving into temptation, when it's always right there in front of you. That could be different for somebody else, but it's something I've had a lot of experience with.
Great work, though!
