face down.

"face down in the dirt, she said
this doesn't hurt, she said
i finally had enough."

there are moments in our lives were we feel like we are swimming in a sea of unknown. drowning even. there are moments in our lives when we aren't sure which way is up. there are moments in our lives when we are being taken by the current - swallowed by the waves.

there are also moments in our lives when we fight it. when we struggle to the surface and the breath of fresh air couldn't be more welcome. when our feet hit the sandy bottom that we were always supposed to feel and we are once again oriented in the right direction.

it is good. it is all good. it is life.
