all my life i've been holding my breath. not a single puff of air is released when someone is near. afraid to draw attention. afraid to show who i really am when the veil of pretense is lifted. i've been holding my breath and one day i might just stop breathing at all.
spinning around in circles, like a cycle, doing what people expected me to do. i don't stop moving for a single pause might shatter the faux face i've established to shield myself from judgement.
then, just like a drum beaten in full force, you came barging into my life and into my story. you changed me in every aspect. like how the ground would be covered in snow after the sun stopped shining bright. like a season coming to an end.
someone can't, shouldn't have this much power over me. but you do. is this a blessing or a curse? is this the calm after the climax?
you transformed me and hoisted me up from the hole of agony i dug for myself. i've resurfaced and air re-filled my lungs.
