dark

her mind

she wants to find light

yet

she is stuck 

stuck in the dark

lost 

surrounded by darkness

yet 

surrounded by specks of light

like the moon

but 

without its own glow

 

trapped 

inside her thoughts

like a newborn

that wants to speak 

but 

can’t form the words 

tired

of fighting 

like a bird 

that knows how to fly

but 

has no wings
