[content note: reflects on birth trauma, tread gently if this may be triggering for you]
You felt yourself falling
As those blue scrubs rushed in.
Your world shrinking,
Body floating to watch it all from above.
Your mind couldn’t understand,
What your body already knew.
Something had gone wrong.
The room too quiet for a babe just born.
In that moment,
Heart outside yourself.
You knew what it was to truly fear.
And truly love.
