I need

I need to take it in. The air i breathe is
thin, the life i lead within takes me. A
pillow my head lies on, into the dreams i
have withdrawn but only i will understand. I
sit upon my strength is will, i feel my
fate upon this window sill. i only have left
what you have right, i will see this
through the night, but only if my will is
good, will these words be understood.
