Emily Karr Kaitin

Unplug



Growing up my mind ran free
From wondering about
The endless universe
To wondering about always ending life
My eyes were bigger then, wider too
Always questioning life, questioning myself

As time grew older and so did I
I began to find my answers
They were scary, cold, and raw
I closed my mind
I couldn’t think
My heart races through my chest

I let go
I plug in
My mind is free
I can breathe
