One Minute

Listen to poem:
I need a minute to breathe when I can lock the door behind me and not hear a single sound not even the chatter inside my brain I need that minute so very desperately when I can close my eyes and whisper just a sigh and listen with ultimate delight to the bubble of silence around my head AP: Honorary Mention 2021, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on December 26, 2018 for contest 2019 POETRY MARATHON MILE 4 sponsored by MARK TONEY Originally posted on October 16, 2018
