how many selfies you gonna take
till you know what you look like
how many social media posts you gonna post up
till you know you were seen
how many mirrors you gonna seek
till you know the reflection’s your choice
how many ego trips you gonna take
till you know your life’s not about you
the dance of your body felt by another’s hands
the intent of your words flowing through another’s actions
the lines of your face traced by another’s eyes
the love you gave remembered by someone else’s soul
how many thoughts we gonna choke on
till we learn our minds are thought lungs
till we learn we can breathe
breathe our thoughts
breathe
heat flow
