in a day overflowing
i let anxiety slip through my fingers like water
bathe in ease, sunlight seeping into my skin
the warmth of love and joy filling my lungs
i remember the emptiness of depression isn’t all there is
i rise to the surface of suffocating emotion
i’m allowed to feel more than my illness
