Inhale a potential.
Inhale a potential that smells like red wine,
drink all the blood until sunrise.
Oh fear, it rules me!

I never bowed down to love;
Fear complimented my resilience.
Shadows reached out and weaponized my brilliance
and I became inhumane.

Breathe in the darkness.
Breathe in the darkness that coils around the amygdalas of our brains.
I wasted my energy on ruminations and
filtered growth from my veins.

A flower never blooms in the winter;
but it learns how to temper the rain.
I shouted for water in the desert;
Never did I expect to fear the day
the water from the sky
would drown out my name.
