The three that rise in me
18:52 Jun 01 2026
Times Read: 21

There is a pressure in my chest
like a door someone keeps knocking on
from the inside.
A pulse that wants out,
a truth that wants teeth.

Restlessness coils beneath my ribs,
a pacing animal
dragging its claws across the floorboards
of my mind.
It wants movement,
wants fire,
wants anything but stillness.

And then the shadow comes —
quiet, familiar,
wearing the voice of old wounds
like a borrowed coat.
It whispers the things I thought I buried,
asks if I remember
how easily I once unraveled.

All three rise in me at once,
a storm with no sky,
a thunder that starts in the bones.

But I stand in the center of it,
breathing slow,
letting the darkness circle
without letting it claim me.

I am not the pressure.
I am not the pacing.
I am not the echo.

I am the one who watches them,
names them,
and refuses to kneel.
