I Remember

I am in my feeling
I am open to attack
and I am learning
how to fight back

shame scorches me
yesterday again
all my oxygen
is eaten up

I am "life less"
my studio walls look barren
the shell of me
can't find my girl

I am in the burning
I do not remember
"Do my homework"
anytime every time

I am drowning
going under
I reach out
to belonging

I remember
I belong
and call Christa
who calls me back
