so i am like
happy but sad.
relieved but mad –

im looking for a new way out
and the exits inside this
rocked in cave is looking bad –

the boulders caved in and
i was just looking for gems,
not to become buried, once again

just let me leave
my heart here
for the time being,
let it escape
from my chest;

just let me leave my heart
out of the water for a bit,
it will flop like a fish but at
least i’m somehow getting
through this

and i’m counting down the
daze in my mind back to
when i can read the signs
and know im realigned,

totally realigned.
