Congratulations

Inspiration: Getting into another college, Mizzou
Word: Congratulations

My eyes zero in
as every
surrounding
sight
becomes a blur
I inhale
my lungs secrete a
short
hesitated
breath
its heavy
my heart picks up its pace
as my throat begs for relief
found in a hectic rip through the middle of the white envelope
my insides collapse while my eyes read
congratulations
I tremble as my world is flooded with excitement
an air of peace oozes into my chest
my shoulders relax
and I smile in gratitude
