again

she cried out, "I don't just want to exist, I want to live."

everyday I give birth to dormant emotions, only to begin again.

struggling to pull out of the dark, to live again.

the words mean everything.

the comments and glances stay fresh in my mind.

to exist, to just exist is certain and utter death.

to crawl upon the ground with mouth open and not a single word to pass.

shedding the skin and diving inward to an abyss so deep that time is envious of its length.

dancing on the fire of the sun, devoured by the flames and yet I'm still here.

the shells fall to her feet and her skin so pale and new.

nothing ever the same, nothing remains unchanged.

and her face gazing in the mirror, only to say hello again.

greetings to my unfound.

Some truly excellent lines - if it didnt feel as disjointed I would say the whole poem is excellent - if a disjointed feel was the aim then you succeeded - and how.
"...to crawl upon the ground with mouth open and not a single word to pass.
shedding the skin and diving inward to an abyss so deep that time is envious of its length." - wow!
