Untitled (by Karen Dunkley)

It drains me, fills me

Wears me down and builds me.

 

It breaks me, makes me

Calms me down and shakes me.

 

Rocks my core and rolls me

Shoots me down, lets me soar.

 

It guts me, feeds me

It devastates and needs me.

 

I grounds me, gives me wings

Takes my breath then makes me sing.

 

Knocks me down, ppicks me up

Chills my bones and burns me up.

 

At once a blessing and a curse

Brings out our best and very worst.

 

We cannot go on, an then we must

We rescue them, and they save us.
