Crying, Dying, Seeking

By Alethia Rose Braganza

You replaced it with the usual?

The eat sleep and breath.

I speak.

Breathe a little.

And breath a lot.

Eat a little

And then eat some more.

Sleep enough and get out the door.

I know your silent screams of unworthiness

But look at the power you hold

Sit and ponder on those days,

The ones where you broke barriers and carried your weight out of holes

And no matter how many rhymes are told.

Deep down we want to feel like we can have it all without

That failure feeling

So, I speak

You cry, dry, and seek.

Repeat

And then make it happen, take your life further.

Uncertainly Grow.
