Fever Dream

for change, 

we will 

take risks

pondering 

what the 

outcome is 

listening and 

remembering

trauma creates 

short term 

memory

it's like a

fever

dream

quiet, until 

someone 

looks into my eyes, 

then, they’ll

 see the

 soul of me

thinking about

walking away 

from things 

that have 

no purpose 

they're serving

Who can you 

talk to when 

they aren’t around?

to these 

strangers 

in the crowd, 

reaching out, 

asking for help

if I get closer, 

I can hear the 

heart weeping

and I see it 

deep down, 

you too

are

hurting
