I'm not sure what I expect
when my fingers weep
my words raw
my heart expanding and contracting
like an angry fist
throwing my punches in your direction
without thinking of the consequences
The stunning truth
(words mean nothing)
(words mean nothing)
always catches me off guard
The bell rings
and I stagger back to the center ring
on the ropes
on the ropes
blocking each blow
(nothing)
(nothing)
until I can no longer feel the impact
In fact, realizing
that I am no longer protecting myself
I don't know how not
to give up
everything...

Next to my own mother, you are by far the strongest woman I know.
Don't give up.
