i feel my heart deep in my chest
so i know that i’m alive
i see the lines time has etched on my face
so i know that i survived (some of it anyway)
i trace the tracks of my turgid tears
so i know that i can still feel
and every single scar on my body
lets me know that most of it was real
i feel the aches in all my bones
they speak of many miles travelled
i’m starting to know so many secrets
of me and of mysteries unraveled
i see the tired in my eyes
this to, i feel deep inside
amongst the spaces, in those places
with nowhere, or nothing left to hide
i feel the weight of my many words
in me, and on my baited breath
questions, answers, taking chances
because every day is a test
