The heart is pounding
Emotions are heightened
If it were me I'd be on my knees
Not praying but battling to get up
I swear strength is everything
The will to carry on is best
Conquering remains the only option
Prayer is everything
Thrilling how strong you actually are
Bet you didn't even know till it was the only thing left to do
Am touched
If only I could reach out and touch where it hurts
I'd feel a lot better when you are better
Easy...
This was after I found that my friend's car was stolen with all his poetry book stock, passport, wallet etc. I could see he was hurt and broken but he remained strong. Knowing I couldn't do anything about it actually hurt me more.
