Strong
May 22, 2016
I can feel them slipping through my fingers.
I can feel them talking behind me.
I can hope that I will never lose them.
But in the back of my mind I know that I will.
And I'll be lost.
But only for a week or two.
Because I'm no longer shackled,
I'm not her friend or his babe.
So, I'll be run through.
I'll be alone, shivering.
But, I'll be made new.
Stronger.
