My grief is a ground center for healing
Wet tears layered on small frowns
Push me beyond my feelings
Feeling the weight of the water
Stone cold skin fluctuating in scale of slaughter
I learned my growth shows when I drown
As much as when I come up for air
Teal and amethyst shades of sad wash over
Past reality finally seeping into now
Realization hits so hard that eyes can only cry
But now, emerges a chance to set a clean slate
Sadness creates clarity more compelling than fake relief
Pushing cautious, circumspect, careful gestures forward
Only the most heart-wrenching emotions can be dual-wielded
A fixture of future strength and sanctuary now
Wet tears layered on small frowns
