As the Sun Rises

Poem by Benazir C.

As the sun rises

The world is no longer grey

My senses of constant fight or flight all seems to have gone away

And all the worries of my past have begun to minimize

All through the hard days are through

Hard work is still abrew

Scrubs on

Scrubs off

No matter how hard I scrub

The trace of chemicals never quite leave my nose

But my world is bright

While it could be attested to the artificial white light

The exoskeleton of anxiety that had ran off into the night is to be awarded

The troubles of my past cannot be erased

But the sun has risen at last

And at last I can just be

Benazir’s vision board about her future to accompany the poem.
