  <body>&lt;p&gt;A cool breeze would lift,&lt;br /&gt;
If I were meant to be lifted;&lt;br /&gt;
I can&amp;#8217;t feel much, other than&lt;br /&gt;
the air blowing my hair;&lt;br /&gt;
The pain in my chest;&lt;br /&gt;
The pain in my head;&lt;br /&gt;
a rising sickness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Decisions are so grand,&lt;br /&gt;
like happening upon a new life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My breath is shorter and such,&lt;br /&gt;
and I wish I could just&lt;br /&gt;
pick the phone up&amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
A few numbers are not fear,&lt;br /&gt;
and your presence is oh so near.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Children on swings, adults smiling.&lt;br /&gt;
a cool breeze should lift.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can see from here, there,&lt;br /&gt;
and alone in my pursuit,&lt;br /&gt;
I wish for naught but a sound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Split navigation is in my mind&amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
Left path or right? Or do I&lt;br /&gt;
just wander around aimlessly?&lt;br /&gt;
Why can&amp;#8217;t I be guided?&lt;br /&gt;
       I will listen&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Happiness, prosperity; words!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lists will defeat the purpose;&lt;br /&gt;
My mind rushes here now,&lt;br /&gt;
and I feel nothing more here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want too much, or perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
I am just selfish;&lt;br /&gt;
Selfish as Midas himself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just want to understand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cars pass by, and I resist;&lt;br /&gt;
my mind tells me to give up,&lt;br /&gt;
but I can hear that sound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finishing touches&lt;br /&gt;
and it&amp;#8217;s such a bright layer&amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
Blindness.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
