before it
` silence is piercing through my ears,
and I cannot stop the flow of tears.
Drowning out those years.
Now I’m shifting gears.
————
A truck drove by
it said “karma”
The universe,
“I’m not trying to alarm ya.”
But around the corner -
is going to harm ya.
Before all this -
the sky was blue &
my feelings were new.
My skin was see through.
