Dark by Alivia Bushway (’22)

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
