#406 My empty rib cage

I wish I was still stubborn
Young enough to believe I can do it all
Free enough to always find a way

Did my mind fully develop
Or did I just lose my innocence
Confronting a world filled with obligations
But lacking opportunity

Where does desire go to die?
Does it take its final resting place in an organ
Or does it completely vacate the body

My own fingers reverberate
As I drag them across my rib cage
I pull myself into an embrace
And wonder what is left?

    At times, it can feel like we have moments of emptiness. But there is always a flickering ember deep within. We just have to breathe it into flame.

  2. There must be a moment when the light changes from go to stop.or is that moment as long as a decade, but only realised in a final moment of that transition? Thank you for the fine read, Luna. G:)
