Small spaces
Shadow realm engulfs me, here I am awake.
Replaying the small moment that would forever be mine.
Like a clock striking 5 the exhale of relief watching them come my way.
Giggling and talking almost too loud I smile.
“ew” one proclaims holding her library books a bit too tight. Walking past me briskly.
My heart clenches as my breath grows short, they walk by.
Forever longing for acceptance, I stand.
Ignore the threat and hold on to this space in my soul that will always be mine.
