Underwater by Sareena (April 2009)

I am Breathing
I am finally breathing again
There is no pause
No closed door
No locked cage

I watch the clock on the wall
How many years has it taken me
To Breathe,
To Open Up My Mouth
to Speak
to Scream
to Cry
to weep

I am Here
I have found the Salt behind my shadow
My mouth Opens-look at that
I have a Voice
I have a Right
To Walk this Planet
Wherever I want

My breath fills the Space
It fills my Heart
It informs my soul of all My Experiences
I float on the Surface
No Longer Underwater
