We remain dormant,
Our lives flashing before our eyes as our bodies are still.
What does our existence mean, if we don't live it?
Repercussions of yesterday's pain will always exist within my anxiety,
But I'll enjoy no freedoms if I allow my fear to win.
So I continue to breathe, sharing life with my demons and dancing in the darkness alongside them.
Maria Macdonald
Dedication
For anyone who owns a blame that isn't theirs to own.
Allow yourself the happiness you deserve.
To my best friend because I fell in love with you.
