//This is one of the poems I found from the year 2021, while gathering my writing. I decided to post them to document my growth.
Shake this emptyness away,
Please. My legs run .
My hands swipe the water away
So that I can once breathe in the open air again.
But the ocean of tears is dense
It chokes away my breath
It pushes against my chest,
Emptying the cavity of my breast.
The substance of life
Envelopes in bubbles
And floats away.
Up, up to the surface.
Where it frees my breath
like unwanted air
And chains my body
Pulling it down, down
Into the flurry
Out the fissures and cracks.
The surface torn
Beaten down, down
Until it ripped through.
