shedding skin

& swimming through wind gusts

i have played along for so long. i now see the light peaking through the dusty cracks. i’ve released all external perceptions through gritted teeth. at times i must i cut everything away and engulf myself in flames. i have hurt and been hurt. my soul needs lightyears of space. my voice crawls up and out of the depths - its been muffled by swirling echos of doubt. may the sun burn through resentment and light the path forward.
