SONYA A WATSON

I saw. 

I came.

I was defeated.

Forced to my knees after my lungs took a breath and held it. 

Looking up at the enemy I had given birth to and shaped, 

I closed my eyes and waited for the end but it never came.

A glimmer behind the haze.

My heart fluttered.

My lungs breathed with ease.

Hope drove a wedge between my mind and my despair.

Lighter steps.

Smiling eyes.

Hopeful thoughts.
