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
