______________________Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself, because every time I turn around,
I'm listening to the sound
of screaming
and cursing
and hate
I can smell the stench of self-loathing and hurt and all I want it to do is
evaporate
When I cover my head and squeeze my eyes shut,
I hear distant singing
(Where does it come from?) it's like it thrums slowly inside of my chest
A beautiful, resilient harmony floating through the air around me
It rustles the leaves outside and brushes up against my window pane
I'm begging it to stay, oh please!I open my eyes and the sound is still there, I close them again and I see a couple, dancing
The girl is happy, her face glows, her smile is wide
The man has dark, thick curls that fall around his sun-kissed face, he has almond colored eyes, he smiles, he throws his head back and laughs, a sound that makes the earth quake with gladness beneath their feetI can see it
She is me
I am her
and I am breathtaking
I am unbothered by the noise
I am strong
I am gladEverything I am struggling with now has passed
