There are times this sorrow,

Confusion,

Worthlessness,

Fear

Has grabbed her and yanked her under ;

Beneath the undertow before She can take a breath.

It is then that She has learned to breathe in the water;

Even if She can’t move She keeps breathing.

She stops struggling

and eventually She floats back to the surface;

Someplace unrecognizable.

Someone unrecognizable to her.

New.
