Rebirth

It's dark

My eyes are open but I still feel asleep

I have layers upon layers of plastic covering my skin
My cells have nowhere to go
They're stuck
I am stuck

If someone touches me, I will break into a thousand pieces

I chant need
And ache

I am pained and I am numb and I am getting swept up by the ocean

I do not care at all whether I drown

\\

I have rescued myself

It is the first day of the rest of my life
And I have never lived before this

I am sharing my lungs
I am dripping my sweat
Sewed my skin to the earth
Breathing and flowing and connected

I am catching rainbows on my tongue
Sweet and tender
Sunlight beams from my eye lids

I am growing and I am here and I am ready
