I’m okay for months,

not paying much attention to the

things that hurt

I have a wall up between me and words

The words barge into the wall, trying to

make it fall

Everyday is the same thing

over and over

That wall doesn’t fall,

at least not yet anyways

One day the words come back and

they’re three times their original size

The words run into the wall

The wall comes tumbling down

Now the words are running through straight

towards me.

Attacking me with such hateful

things.

I don’t know what to do

I believe it for a second, which

then turns into a minute, which

then turns into hours

It takes a while for me to

regain my strength

And when I do,

I’ll be three times as strong.
