Climbing out the low...

Looking up.

By Ashley McGowanPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Times I've felt I just can’t keep up.

I cry some more.

I'm out of touch.

Climbing out of the low.

Looking straight up.

And I’m still on the floor.

Pulling on my patience like I’m stuck.

No no no.

Iv heard it all before.

I cannot breathe.

When it rains.

And when it rains...

It pours.

No no no.

I’m going to have to go.

Climbing out of the lowest of the low.

I just can’t go down anymore.
