Awakening
Swipe. I still feel. Swipe. I’m crying. Swipe. I don’t want these anymore. Breathe. The sun gets up, so can I. Breathe. Trembling hands clench. Breathe. Release.

Blue; The color of calm and wise, but synonymous with sadness. Dual embodiments duel for dominance in a torn body. Fingers twitch with the need to write … Continue reading Captain America’s Strength
