“my soul is still homeless

sometimes
in between slumber and consciousness
i sleepwalk.

my mind not yet aware
i shuffle out the front door
the crisp open air and night sky still call me.

at night
in between slumber and consciousness
i sleepwalk.

my soul not yet aware
that my wanderings are over
and I have a home.”

“You have to speak the thing that you’re feeling, even if it scares you. You have to tell your story. You have to raise your voice.”
