why
can't you find your strength?
why
won't you think for yourself?
why
do they refuse to let you go?
why
is it impossible for you to leave?
why
can only the youngest ones see
are they the only ones with eyes
where did they learn acceptance?
why
is everyone so close minded?
why
are you scared?
why
are you so scared?
why
are you so scared?
what do you think will happen?

calm
settling in
back to normal
only not-
really
questions loom
feelings the same
back to normal-
only not.
is this normal?
what is normal?
change
acceptance
approval
where are you?

control
stomach tense
mind races
hands shake
when will this get better?
stop mind.
stop.
stop.
stop.
why won't you listen to me?
I need control.
There is no control.
Need, control
to stop the mind
from traveling down
the dark alleys--
you never come back from.

restless
minutes refuse to pass.
they drag themselves out
until every painful second
has had its fair share.
they are
taunting
mocking
looking distastefully
as if to say:
we're doing this on purpose.

elated
Joy fill me
and
wants to burst out.
one hundred twenty seconds.
a mere
one hundred twenty seconds.
To calm my restless nerves.
To hear your voice.
one hundred twenty seconds
is all it took.

disconnected
in the age of communication on every device known. there is a strange sound of silence.
nothing. no sounds. no words. nothing.
we hear from people all day long for the most trivial details of their lives. we read information about people's lives that we do not care about.
it's in front of us all the time. all the time. all the time.
except when it's not.
then the silence is deafening.

relief
Relief washes over me.
The elephant standing on my chest is gone.
There is nothing left to do except wait.
I have no control anymore.
It all rests on your shoulders.
You are carrying the hopes of two people.
Try not to get weighed down by the enormity that stands before you.
You must be strong as you travel on this journey.
Because, I am strong for you while I am waiting.
