I exist when
Laughing, baring my grin
Wide enough for others to see
I exist when
Letting another rest their head
On the round of my shoulder
I exist when
Having bought a bag of candy
For all of us to share
I exist in a text
A Facebook status
A tumblr selfie
I live when I read
Inhaling the kind of words I cannot get myself to say
I live when I eat
self-conscience, quickly, rarely
I live when I bike
Pushing the pedals down hard enough
To release my energy and
Make the bike squeak
I exist with others
I live on my own
