I was born in 2010, but I’m not so young
I am just now feeling for the first time
Before I experienced life and was happy
But now I look up and an imaginary cord
Drags, drags, drags on my head
And as I force my way against it
And as I try to gain control, and return
Instead my heart shrinks to a small, cold stone
And my ribs compress and squeeze
I look out upon the world, suddenly alive
This new life, this new feeling of pain
I know my body in ways I had not before
My heart had beat steadily every day
But now I wish I could take it out and stop its
Pound, pound, pound in my chest
I look up at the plane-less sky in wonder
And dream I am floating away into the unbroken blue
The cold that envelops me up there
Invigorates my soul and distracts my mind
My mind, though distracted, remains on her
She haunts me wonderfully
I close my eyes and she is there
I make a cup of tea and a fond memory invades
And every event, throughout every day
Reminds, reminds, but I am alive
