Grip of air…

A fist that held the breath, a breath she yearned to hold, a breath she dared to earn…

In the subtle breath she yearned

For the harsh truth to disappear

Yet in the streets filled with choas

She danced through as if in a dias

In the warm corners of the soul

She melted down like butter

In the cold streaks that were drawn

She fashioned herself into a knife

Yet she yearned all over again

For the reassuring whisper

That would give her the grip air

In the struggle to earn her crown.
