it will start
as a dream
slowly rotting to
a memory that
you can’t burn
from your mind
it sticks to you
like it did to your skin
and no matter how
nice life is right now,
still it will swell and show
that you are
a basket for shrapnel
of things you survived
but
don’t worry,
there is more
than just surviving this,
there is also the joy
of just knowing you aren’t dead
and that maybe life can be great
despite the fact that you’re still in it
say you’re at risk of becoming a partial optimist
just rest assured that this likely isn’t a terminal case
