Literature
Coping
Breathe in air
deep and slow
close your eyes,
but don't let go
Grip the blade
then let it fall
erase the pain,
erase it all
Feet in contact
with the ground
pitter, patter,
all around
mirrors shatter
broken glass
shattered image,
shattered past
numbers, numbers
all the same,
all relate
to weight and shame
darkened views
from hooded eyes,
salty rain
from crying skies
