Just so you know
it is bigger than you think
it’s more than just smoke in the air
filling my space
when I breathe in
I hold on
to so many memories
run and hide
flight or flee
that I can’t escape
time hasn’t changed
a captive struggling
to get away and be free
I sense danger
even though, rationally,I know
but it still makes me feel
the same as I did
way back then
real as real as it can be
my sacred space
jeopardized
and I won’t hold
my breath
be a captive
struggling to get away
ever again
just so you know
it’s more than you think.
