2 days
Of internal despair,
My lungs seemed to
Have forgotten what it is
To breathe.
My body isn't mine anymore,
I'm stuck in it,
My mind racing with thoughts
Of the night you tried
To make me yours.
Never have I been able to
Truly overwhelm
Over songs that narrate
Stories I never thought
I'd have to tell.
My bed never felt so empty,
I've never felt so hopeless
Over humanity.
So when I sit and see
The horizon,
It's as if the waves
Wash away the lies within.
When the below temperature water
Washes over my feet,
It's in those few seconds
That I begin to feel like me.
Me.
The one who kept hope
Despite her father's constant "no."
The one with veins profound in color
And in the words that seep out of them.
My second day of
Internal despair,
And as I waked upon pink sea **** so rare,
I inhaled salt water...
And for the first time in days,
My lungs remember air.
