Minute by minute,
Day by day,
Year by year,
The pain seems to eat away at me,
From the inside out.
I fight so hard to keep standing tall,
So often too tired and hurting to fend it off,
I want to throw up my hands and surrender.
I get so tired,
So very, very tired.
When I am just too tired to struggle,
I want to give up,
And let it consume me.
Allow it to go on a feeding frenzy,
Devouring all that is left of my bruised body.
I cry so many tears.
Perhaps one day the tears I cry will melt away my earthly vessel,
And the surface upon which I lay will absorb me,
Leaving only my unscathed soul and beautiful spirit behind.
