The hardest part is believe more in yourself than the weight of failure on your tongue. The lump of give up stuck in your throat. Broken fingertips that want to surrender. I pull myself up by my lungs. Rearrange my insides well enough to hide my weakness. And believe. For one second. That I can do this.

Closing the day
The hardest part is believe more in yourself than the weight of failure on your tongue. The lump of give up stuck in your throat. Broken fingertips that want to surrender. I pull myself up by my lungs. Rearrange my insides well enough to hide my weakness. And believe. For one second. That I can do this.
The strength to continue fighting even though motivation is hard to discover.
