Kami Kuat: I Am Strong
Lately, it's been memories
and sleepless nights.
My bed, our bed;
these sheets smell like you.
I swear I hear your voice
at three am, and I'm
awake for another night.
I almost called you,
but I talked myself out of it.
Sometimes I have to remind
myself to breathe. "Just breathe."
I have to remind myself that
the world isn't over, and that
my shoulders have carried more
weight than that of the pain
you have caused me.
I can heal.
I meed to remember that
yesterday is gone, no longer
existent. I can't keep
dwelling on a past that
doesn't dwell on me.
I can do this.
