A set of lungs under water hoping to get the next chance at air, a confusion that hits like a coffin and put you to sleep, an anxiety that won’t let you recover or receive any ounce of answers, I’ve told myself it’s another bout that you can wake up after, grab your head, hold your heart, and live up to your expectations. There isn’t a reason you can let this be the reason that you feel pain, ever again. I’m hoping I’ll see another sunset and this time, I don’t mean when I wake up. I mean when I’m breathing at night, hoping to make things feel right. I’m a better person. Not because I don’t feel pain anymore. Not because I’ve recovered from the scars. Mainly from knowing it’s coming, and still wanting to see another smile.
