CONTRAST-12

UNTITLED

BY SARA BASTIAN

strife & stress
trials and tribulations.
consistent tears,
not drops,
but streams, rivers, and oceans.
sorrow comes in
bodies of water.
lost in the mix,
but stuck in nothingness.
who are you?
what is this?
anomie adolescent,
can you sing?
sing the song
comfort & acceptance,
the song of lies.
sing for me
quietly
but
passionately.
sing that song
tell me who you are,
and why you are the way you are.
yellow walls
black doors.
are you trapped,
or are you just not looking up?
no ceiling
just a grey, cloudy sky.
monsters
disguised as clouds
with
tsunami tears.
who has cried more
the sky
or i?
the yellow walled room
becomes acquainted
with our consistent,
every flowing tears.
i am floating,
not drowning.
i am floating,
not drowning.

please swim.
