Gravity, molecules, tears and happiness

I write very free verse, I just let emotions go and write down whatever my mind says.

Sometimes I just want everything to go away
That I could be air
Molecules of oxygen
Something that doesn't think but merely functions
Breathlessly working in unison with the world
Maybe the universe.
I wonder what it feels like to be gravity.
Constantly pulling down.
I would think it would get tired, and
Maybe it could take a break
And all of humanity could sit back
And enjoy floating for a while
Maybe gravity could pull our minds out
So for a little while, we wouldn't have to think.
Apathy isn't so bad, if you didn't know the difference.
I suppose because I am human
I would miss the luxury of feeling happy
That is, if I was able
And I would probably cry, if I could
But my tears wouldn't leave me,
There would be no gravity
And they would float next to me
Sprouting minds and faces
And composing a conversation to make me feel better.
I lost my mind though, I wouldn't care what they would say.
If I could, I would probably hate them
Or at least, envy their ability to think
Form ideas and philosophies
And fall in love.
I guess I should be thankful for gravity.
Molecules of air, and tears.
My thoughts,
And free will.
Love, happiness, hate.
Joy, fear, guilt
Loneliness, confidence, depression
Envy, gratitude, embarrassment
Anxiety, hope, sympathy
Pleasure, pride, excitemet
Empathy, content, jealousy
Peaceful, satisfied, calm
happy happy happy
