I Am

You cannot see me,
I am invisible,
Yet, you need me,
You cannot survive without me.
I float like a bird,
Flying in the sky,
I do not breathe,
Yet I am alive.
I do not sleep,
I’m awake day and night,
I’m free like a balloon,
Floating out into the world.
I do not eat,
I will never die,
What am I?
I am air.
