Outdream

i breathed
I survived
Over the power
the power of a stranger
Over me
Strangling me
Seeing the truth
I learned to breathe
To fly again
with the breeze
To walk again
in the clouds
To see nakedness
It hurted
It bored a hole
To see clarity
A pain and relief at the same time
Astonishing
I never felt release
The power drained out
I was free from his glare
Just praying to be free also
Of paralyzing dreams
Dreams of a stranger
