Learning How to Breathe Again
Gray dust coated my windows
The sunlight felt like a stranger now
My voice was a whisper in the hall
Each morning a heavy, slow stone
Carried uphill with aching breath
The mirror showed a blurred stranger
Eyes holding shadows deep and cold
Then a small crack appeared in the wall
A sliver of unexpected blue light
I turned toward that gentle warmth
Letting go the weight I had kept close
The air smells crisp like rain now
My own laughter echoes freely
I walk the pavement with firmer steps
Discovering colors I forgot existed
This skin fits better than before
Truly breathing this honest air

I walk the pavement with firmer steps
Discovering colors I forgot existed
This skin fits better than before
Truly breathing this honest air
