Where I Came From, Where I Am, Where I Am Going

My hair never looked so healthy,

Their adolesent actions so displeasing,

I have changed.

Swollen feet carry my weigth,

I do not feel as heavy anymore.

This steady rhythm my chest projects,

This steady rhythm

How did I once forget?

The only heaviness I now feel,

Comes from the concaved container my insides are,

My capability to love awakened.

A deep sleep fell like breath does in the winter time,

Afterwords, the time it took...

I've held my breath for so long,

I feel like a bandit.

When surrounding air,

My joy, moves in.

I hope they never catch me.

They don't deserve to look at my hair so healthy.

Not like they carelessly did,

Once before.
