Do we even cognizant of the truths it whispers? Or are we simply content, moving in its hold?
Aching for Air
The silence had been, a suffocating veil that seemed to crush every breath. My body screamed for the merest taste of unpolluted air, a elementary need now forbidden. I imagined myself standing in a vast field, the breeze swooning through my skin, carrying with it the scent of grass. It seemed like a fantastical dream.
