the role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. -anais nin


And it's home
You see
Where the air
Hasn't been touched by anyone
But you
Unless of course
You've wanted someone else too.
In the rush of
Moving place to place
All the little pieces
Of shattered breaths
You have collected
Have built upon the one intake
Of air to support your own
Lungs.
If people never
Were to travel and
We all stayed home
Too cozy in our own blankets
Our lungs would breathe
The untouched air,
Unbroken,
Boring air.

@mckennaxoxo Good job! All I have to say is that on the part, "If people never Were to travel and We all stayed home Too cozy in our own blankets" I recommend that you say, If people never traveled, we all would stay in our homes snuggling cozily in our warm blankets." Also the part: "Our lungs would breathe The untouched air, Unbroken, Boring air." Here's what I would do: "Our lungs would breath the dull, crowded, and broken air." I would also delete the "You've" to make the line sensible with the previous one. That's all I have, still good job!
