Sitting
In the dark
Feeling the beat
Of my foolish heart
I touch my face
Alien lines push away my fingertips
I don’t feel like me
I am a woman possessed
Eyes widen out to let in more light
Dark unseeing pools disguising my fright
If I can just stay here…
Still in the night
Protected by blindness
Sustained by no sight
Sitting
In the dark
Feeling the beat
Of my foolish heart
