For nothing is real till I’m still

And what is silence if one is alone?

Adjusting my posture, judgement roars from the outside

Who am I to apologize?

Something sinks within me, I must not be empty

Oh earth, explain your cruelty!

For you consider my hunger but not my heart,

Oh how forced it feels to be apart

Longing for freedom but pain finds an undertow

Its greedy currents that take and not give,

How tempting it is to drown

Saturate my strength with your scent and watch me fail!

For I soften in your sight and desire swallows me whole
