empty vase

If I would be an infant, I would cry my lungs out for some breath. 

If I would be a toddler, I would wipe my eyes dry for some clearness.

If I would be a teen, I would yell my throat hoarse for some voice.

Now....

I am all of the above.

And the only thing I can bring out is silence,

as an empty vase in a field full of flowers,

under troubled skies.
