Breaking out

I step out into a cool summer night 

The air fills my lungs and soothes my anxiety riddled body

I walk out and feel the calm breeze on my torn up skin, wrapping around me like it's comforting my wounds

Laying down in the soft grass is unparalleled by any bed

The earth cradles my dejected body as I stare up at the dark sky, not quite full of stars

I feel a calm I had long forgotten settle over me like a blanket 

The crickets and frogs chirp their peaceful song, lulling me to sleep

Maybe I won't wake up this time, I'll just sleep eternally with nature, holding my place in the ground, unbothered anymore, unburdened by the tolls of life

Just the quiet summer night and I, forever entwined

    Retract and hide

    I've recently found myself back in my shell

    Pretending to be someone I'm not

    And I think I know why.

     

    I've pulled back from people 

    Only interacting with animals and strangers online

    Radio silence

    I'm opening my phone

    To nothing 

    No messages, no emails, no missed calls,

    All I'm getting is radio silence 

     

    The sinking feeling in my heart returned

    The one where you know something is wrong

    It's dark out now.

    Stinging my eyes

    The tears come

    Pouring down

    Relentlessly.

    Still breathing 

    Still warm

    Yet dead 

    To me

    And me alone.

    Grief floods me

    Again 

    I'm drowning
