METAMORPHOSIS: WORDS BENEATH HER MATTRESS

01: STAY

before the year begins,
i made an affirmation to myself
that this would be my year.
brimming with warmth and happiness
but it seems this is the worst.
it was full of unfortunate events.
Suffering and Distress.

some are difficult to shoulder.
it suffocates me.
but gratefully, I have you.
everything appears to be bearable
because of you.

it may be packed with discomfort,
but I am delighted to be enduring it
because you are right next to me.
