the calm began
and she ended
how do one breathe?
when they inhale
endless possibilities
she cannot exhale
limitless air
yet she is suffocating
won’t allow her breath
to set free; restrained
chains of her own
made up
by a thousand oaths
promises she made
undeserving she thought
how can one believe
what one creates
when one cannot even love
the reflection they make
she closes her eyes
and prays
maybe another storm
will save the day
she never knew peace anyway
