Comfort Zone

Crisis & ChangePoetry
Artwork by: Arina Stetsiuk

I don’t ever want to leave this poem
I could live here
Eating table scraps
Drinking words like water

I could live here
Sleeping under a blanket of lies
Breathing to the beat of a song

I could live here
Never forgetting the sun
But too scared
To greet it again.
