Finding Myself

Breathe. Close your eyes. Try to release the pressure on your chest.

Hello, in there?

Nothing answers me back.

Come out, come out!

Imagine you are also on the inside.

Why is it so dark in here?

Look in the arms and legs and hollow heart.

What are you doing in here, little one?

Chubby cheeks streaked.

Are you alone?

Pretend to be strong enough to help her.

Why are you crying?

Deep down, you know why.

Do you know who I am?

Wipe away my tears.

I came back for you.

Take a tiny hand.

We will find our way out together.
