**** knows why

One foot

In front

Of the other.

Onwards and upwards

Eyes front.

Quiet tears

Pool within

Heels digging in

I will not cry

I cannot cry

I shall not cry

**** knows why

I am swaying on

The fringe

Between

Falling and fallen

crawling

Slowly slowly

Duck n weave

Heart on sleeve

Hiding behind corners

Eyes down.

Tight frown

Eyebrow furrow

I am the badger

Burrowed

The ostrich

With his head

Planted

Quietly

In the ground.

I am sound

And sounding

Calling

Crying

Trying

So very hard

To just

Keep on Keeping on.
