I used to marinate myself in emotion
Now I sit here numb
It’s not that bad really
Just strange
Feels like all has drained from my brain
I spent so long trapped in my pain
It was hard to see the sun through the rain
Some days feel like I’ve lost my wind
The tension is unwound
The wound is closing
But I feel lost
Voiceless

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.
