i am somewhere.
not something. not someone.
i am somewhere.
somewhere cannot be broken. somewhere cannot be hurt. somewhere is beautiful and vast.
i am somewhere.
the air is warm. the sun is setting. the cool water touches the sand like a mother towards her kin.
there i am. somewhere.
and then my eyes open. i remember,
i am here.
the words cut me like a blade. the tears sting me as a wasp would to my skin.
i am here.
i am drowning. the memory of air in my lungs seems almost faint. while alive, i am not living.
i am here.
seconds feel like hours. hours feel like days. time feels endless, and to it i am numb.
i close my eyes once more.
i am somewhere.
