relief
flooding down my face was relief
belief that I was worthy
drowning in the ocean and
somebody extended their arm
lifting from my skin was the pain
Burnt off so crisp and Warm
as if I could finally let go
without leaving
who knew the little things were
what made people happy
i finally found that friendship
can appear through the Ashes
simply a Smoke filling your lungs
filling you with purpose
you are alive
because someone else cares
