Surrender.

I cried every tear until my eyes burned

I wailed every scream I had until my throat stung

I rocked back and forth until my head throbbed

I blinked and my world changed

I rocked and prayed it was a dream

It wasn't a dream

I cry more, I scream louder, I pace now. I ask the universe what it wants from me. I get no answers, only more demands from the earth that my feet stomp on.

The wind sweeps around me. Surrender.
