Footprints That Aren’t Mine

Описание: Footprints That Aren’t Mine

By Jennifer Shiloh




I tried to outrun the silence
Built my courage out of noise
But something steadier than panic
Kept my feet against the floor

Every time I almost shattered
Something pulled me back again

Gravity knows my name
Won’t let me float away
When the world goes weightless
I still feel held in place
I don’t see the hands
But I feel the claim
Gravity knows my name

I didn’t fall apart
I was caught

I screamed into the ceiling
Got no answers back
But the room still held me
When I thought I’d crack

No voice in the thunder
No sign in the sky
Just a presence that stayed
When I wanted to hide
If that’s not mercy
I don’t know what is
The room still held me

I’ve known fire that destroys
Leaves nothing but regret
But this one warms the coldest parts
And doesn’t leave a mark

This is fire that doesn’t burn
Light that doesn’t blind
Heat without the damage
Truth without the knife
I walked through it shaking
Came out still alive
Fire that doesn’t burn

Whatever this is
It’s not here to take
It’s here to stay

I didn’t earn this morning
Didn’t pay my way through night
Every breath feels borrowed
Every pulse feels timed

I’m living on borrowed breath
Held between then and now
If I’m still standing here
Someone wants me around

I’ll use it well

I stopped asking questions
Stopped demanding proof
Sat down with the quiet
And it didn’t leave the room

The silence answered back
Not with words, but weight
Like something listening
Like something saying “stay”

Not everything speaks
Some things remain

I don’t believe in accidents
Not after everything
Every time I almost disappeared
Something tightened its grip

There are hands I can’t see
But I know how they feel
When the ground gives way
And I’m still here
Call it instinct
Call it fate
I call it hands I can’t see

I thought the dark was empty
Just fear and falling through
But something was built into it
That knew how to carry me

There’s a structure in the darkness
A frame I didn’t design
I leaned when I was breaking
And it held my weight in time

The dark isn’t hollow
It’s deep

I mistook exhaustion
For the edge of the world
But when I stopped running
The ground didn’t curve

Nothing chased me
Nothing closed in
I just finally noticed
What I was already in

Stillness isn’t surrender
It’s arrival

It didn’t flash or blind me
Didn’t force my eyes
It waited where I left it
Patient as time

There’s a light that waits
Doesn’t beg or chase
It just stays lit
In the place you’re afraid

It was there the whole time

I believed the lie of isolation
Wore it like the truth
But looking back through the wreckage
There’s footprints that aren’t mine

I was never alone
Even when I felt it
Never abandoned
Even when I ran
If something carried me
Through all of that weight
Then I was never alone

I’m still here
So something stayed
