*by Jade Erickson*

I breathe my truth into existence,  
Though every breath feels like betrayal.  
A pattern I have created and despised,  
While quietly longing to watch it unfold.  
  
Instability carries me like a vessel at sea,  
Rising and falling with the restless tides,  
As if I were born to these waves,  
Waiting to be claimed by their depths.  
  
I am every fragment of myself —  
Every shadow, every glow,  
Each piece keeping me afloat.  
I survived by refusing to divide myself.  
  
I now meet fate without resistance,  
Letting myself drift, yet not drown,  
At peace within the endless waters —  
The vastness no longer asks me to grow.

> Jade writes: Through poetry, I’ve found a way to cope with life’s struggles. I’ve turn them into strength through language. My inspiration comes from my personal experiences, other artists, and the beauty of the world around me. I hope my work resonates with you and gives you a glimpse into my journey.
