peace is impossible
I close the windows
Lock the doors
Turn off the lights
I don’t ever want to leave this room.
I am tired of drowning
In a world
That has never prepared me to swim.

And I am fearful.
Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,
For I have been taught to survive
but never to truly live.

Revival
One day,
you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
