Where Secrets Hide (Part Nineteen) 

It is more difficult to breathe under dirt
than it is under water

The more you struggle
the more the fine grains of soil fill your nostrils and mouth

at some point 
you stop struggling

you stop fighting 
to stay alive

because 
although what’s left of your conscious mind tells you to live 
your subliminal self 
has already surrendered
and accepted the bitter fact that 

you’re dead

The pain and sting of what personal evil 
was capable of 
was so great
it remains 
indescribable 
with my words

The fact that another human being
could actually take the life of another 
and then try to conceal it
changed my way of being 
forever

I finally knew fear

I knew what it felt like now 
to be helplessly in the line of inevitable danger 

Knew what it felt like to just
Have to let go 
of being

Letting go of the people 
I loved,
all the places I had been, 
and all the places I wanted to go
And all of the things I knew

All of the things
She knew

And to accept whatever it was 
that was awaiting me 

awaiting her

on the other side
