She cries to no one.
And cries out to everyone
Pain escalated and announced to dear ears
The sadness that chokes her
The hurt that pains her body
The tears that drown her on the indside
Drowning in that uncertainty
She digs deep to find her forever
It’s lost in the unknown
The darkness that floods around her
She can’t breathe
She can’t see
She can’t think
She can’t know
Which way is up?
Which way is down?
Does it matter?
Which way leads to light?
To breathing
To seeing
To thought
To life?
Where’s the air…
The sweet gentle wind of life
To rage away these waters
Make them shift
And swirl
A cyclone of undeniable sanity…
Cold and alone
She wraps her arms around herself
Wishing away the tears that would add
To her ocean of sadness…
