March 19, 2019

I need to alleviate this feeling 
In desperate need of internal healing 
I trip 
But I don’t fall 
Learn how to crawl 
Then learn how to walk 
Outlining my body on the pavement 
With chalk 
Asphalt engagement 
Body splattered on the floor 
In a form that is familiar 

I see a door 
A red one 
Do I go through it knowing the danger that comes when I do 
This wasn’t as fun 
As I thought 
I touch the door handle 
jiggle it 
Locked 
FUCK FUCK FUCK 
The pain isn’t gone. 
It’s elevated 
I’m a helpless faun 
Being chased by a lion 
But I’m also the lion 
I’m crying 

For both
Because I am both the lion and the faun 
Metaphorically I am 
Because I’m already

 gone
