Hold On

Have faith…
Sometimes what you feel is just-
Weakness leaving your body.
Those tears, and that pain
That rips through everything,
Are only temporary.

It never is as hopeless as it seems.
Although that is all it forces you to believe.
Whether it feels like your drowning.
Often figuratively, sometimes quite literally.
The waters eventually recedes.

So hold on-
Breath and believe.
Because once those wounds heal
And is calloused…
You’ll be stronger,
and your foundation fortified.
