Untitled - by Tirzah Sheppard
I fear dissolving into the puddle of the mundane
I can yield
But the mere idea sinks me into a deep depression
I am suspended
resisting the pressure to conform.
Though seduced by liberation,
I'm afraid of the autonomy that accompanies defiance
The sun approaches
Will I rise to the top?
Release my burdens and ignore my fears?
floating
floating
floating
Until I rise above the clouds
Mingling with the humidity surrounding me
I resist.
I rise.
