Hid so far inside,
Upstairs in my mind, downstairs
In my heart. Ba-boom.
Coming up and down from where I was.
Bends and butterflies –
Carnivorous butterflies with big hearts
Bends if I come to surface too fast.
Ocean and cocoon metaphors,
Deep dives, sky high, I expanded
I can’t go back. To tiny vision.
But I can become a better version
Of me.
Maybe octopus girl. In the ocean
Of the world’s emotion.
Tentacles for projects,
Current for underwater breeze
Holds me up,
Those damn deep dives I do alone,
But no there are others swimming
In deep hell with me –
We come up together
While in silence we became free.
