"It's Dark"
It’s dark
I can’t breathe here
I can’t cry out, open my mouth
Move, impossible
No sound
Nothing but closed space,
Suffocating me
Warm and cold
Soft and smooth
All these things at once
And I wake up
It was just my cat
Laying on my face
Me, tangled up in a blanket
In the middle of winter.
It’s dark
But I’m not afraid anymore
