the pain never eases
you just learn to hold its hands
and pursue life more so
the love never stays
you just learn to remember it
and hold on til it returns
the fear never leaves
you just learn to face it
and bite your tongue and walk
i will continue to crumble
but i will build myself back up
though i appear as a child beneath the moon
i emerge a woman in the dawn of the morning
is this growth , my love ?
—20 steps back , but 1 forward
