It's my worst enemy
She came right when,
I opened my mouth to speak to You
She filled my heart with heaviness
She played back memories from the
past...
I saw flashbacks of me sitting
On the hard floor crying,
It slowly became my reality
The conversation continued,
But I grew more quiet
The more questions you asked,
Thoughts raced eachother
My heart pounded louder and louder
in my ears 🙉
Like that of a talking drum sounding
On a humid hot afternoon
In the outskirts of town
Speaking in hurried tones
Dum! dum! dum!! dum!! dum!!!
The rhythm became more fast paced
I snapped back in somehow
To see myself seated infront of a
bright window
And for the first time realizing,
That the drum has a message for me
Dear little one,
Just breathe
I drew in 5 gentle breaths
I tried to hold each one for as long
As I could
Hoping that each breath will
Come with some sort of relief
I reminded myself that I'm safe
I'm not in danger
And that I was just overwhelmed
I remembered to turn on the music
I listened contently at first
And then I joined in singing
I found peace
And this girl,
She stood there staring at me
Feeling defeated after coming to
terms with the fact I knew what she
Was up to now.
That she was feeding my mind, with
lies and irrational fear
The light was there to guide me 🪔
Back 👣
I felt it all today
I didn't run away.
