The Halt

She said:

I am the sigh

That has fallen apart

Halfway through

While it was rising up

I am the feeling

That was suppressed

Before being expressed

I am the opinion

That was chopped away

Before being voiced

I am the desires

That never blossomed

Out of the heart

I am the thoughts

That are confined

To the brain

I am the attitude

That cracked up

Hitting the walls

I am the worries

That end up burning

Inside the heart

I am the sorrows

That evaporated

Through tears

I am the dreams

That were collapsed

Without being built up

I am the anxiety

That was caved in

Before being ascended
