-

Too strong to save yourself:
you will do this alone
until you have no breath left to fight.

Someday it will come;
will all fall down,
wrapped like the blanket
around your body
that does not give you warmth.

You can only hold on
so hard that it hurts -
you, and not you alone.

If this pain is sent
to make you battle on
beyond limits you once thought you had,
whether it is a curse
or a blessing
can only be wondered,
as you wait
to find out
when you'll break.
