To End Defiance
Broken so that I can be filled?
Don’t give me that.
It can’t be true!
I don’t want to believe that pain will make me better.
I don’t want to accept that.

Yet I know that there’s truth in those words.
So I accept them, slowly.
Eventually.
And I change.
Thanks to some words on a page.
