    Squeezed

    Suffocating, I struggle to breathe beneath the surface

    Lost in a sea of uncertainty

    Faintly, the breeze softens the harshness I feel

    But it is soon lost.


    I know all of the old tunes, and

    All of the steps to the dance of my old life.

    To begin as emerging into an existance of life unknown

    Feels like being squeezed through a needle of doubt.


    Slowly, the breeze begins to blow

    The ashes of the past fade away.

    I begin to breathe the fresh air of life

    Into the unknown.

    Thank you.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
