"And I think of all the thousands of billions of steps and missteps and chances and coincidences that have brought me here and it feels like the biggest miracle in the world."

In the cold, I can't hide
the jagged white lines of my pain
glare from my skin and shout out
their existence to all those who
come and then go
away I shout the whisper
but they don't listen
to my soul please and
hear the truths I cannot tell
me you love me and maybe
you can save me.
