growing keeps me going


Staying awake but trying to sleep

Starting to grow but hitting the brakes

“You’ll be okay” 

And 

“It does get better”

Seeing nightmares but still awake

Slowly breaking but still growing

“It does get better”

And 

“I will be okay”

Slowing growing even when I break

Staying awake and continuing to dream
