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.
