Even if you have to clench your fists,
with ****** knuckles
and broken wrists,
shattered eyes and pale lips,
you'll get through this.
Breathe.
Don't tremble.
Your voice should be shaky from
quivering the truth -
not fear.
Look straight.
Or your eyes will dart so quickly,
searching
for the infinite broken pieces
of your
heart.
Smile.
It'll make you feel better.
Laugh.
It's the best medicine.
Stand tall.
Do not stoop as low as defeat.
Swallow the lump in your throat.
Of tears, of pride, of ego.
Let it go beneath you and dissolve.
Do not let it lurk in you - it's toxic.
Sing, listen to music.
But stay away from your favourites.
they're all sad.
Be strong.
This is not your first battle.
Find your strength.
