gravity
takes
me
down.
…
…
…
ears
ringing,
silence
abound.
Getย
Up.ย
Get Up.
Get Up.
Get Up.ย
a mantra
a fighting chant,
with that
i claw my way
back up.
fingers gripping
the ground a leverage
i push against,
grapple
my way
to standing.
the light?
(where is it?)
i panic
iย feel blinded
deaf ,
pain-
excruciating.
my knees and
palms scratched
red.
the battle to keep going
an infinite crest
to be a survivor
and conquer,
an exhausting
quest.
but i claw my way back up,
because without the trauma,
who am i?
