Covered from head to toe in self doubt.
Blindfolded and bumping into all the wrong people and all the wrong places.
Blocking out all sound.
Shutting her mouth, and closing off the world.
Until her skin burned.
Until she grew tired of all the bumps and bruises.
Until she grew too bored.
Until she starved and parched away.
She disrobed.
She opened her eyes.
She unblocked her ears.
She unlocked her jaws.
Light radiated from her body.
She could see farther and clearer than ever before.
She could hear her loved ones calling out to her.
She could taste the bountiful food and water bursting with flavor.
She was awakened and she was alive.
