My mistakes keep me up at night,
put stretch marks on the empty spaces
that cause my eyes to leak
when I can't sleep
Silence seeps through my skin,
finds its way into my lungs and
resonates against the barriers;
stains my heart with heavy burdens, and
I sink through the floor,
press my palms to the walls of this womb
This is not home,
I cannot feel
My weakness drips into my stomach, now,
a cancerous lump threatening to take me over
So I close my eyes;
beneath, streaks of colored lights break
Electricity is bursting from my fingertips
I will be whole again
