02:43 alive, lit from within
I love when I red and feel warmth through my body when I'm engaged in intellectual activity or when doing an interesting reading. As if life insists on showing itself the moment it stirs within me. I love when I feel heated but not because of overstimulation but just for being so filled with live and sensation, I love how a self that's full of life reminds itself how not untouched by the life it is, but responsive to it. Lit from within, unmistakably alive. My poetry:
I redden, heat finds me, like a small flame remembering its nature.
My skin answers life, quick to color, as if something bright within me refuses to stay unseen.
And in that quiet heat, I know I am filled with live.

Through the living roach I am coming to understand that I too am whatever is alive. Being alive is a very high stage, it is something that I only reached now
